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 dial is accented with applied indexes for clear legibility and the broad batten handset adds an overall elegant look.
This particular piece from 1975 is notable for its good condition with the smooth bezel and a ocean blue dial with some very fine patina.
