Rolex Air King Blue 1969

The Air-King is one of the last under-the-radar models by Rolex and has all the classic styling one could ask for from the Oyster Perpetual family. This reference made simplicity its asset - in this case, the clean deep blue linen dial is accented with applied indexes for clear legibility and the broad batten handset adds an overall elegant look.

This particular piece from 1969 is notable for its impeccable condition and flawless deep blue dial and a strong case with sharp edges in outstanding condition.
