What is a Rolex Air-King?
1 Answer

A Rolex Air-King is a wristwatch designed with flight and aviation influences. When released in 1945, this style had the biggest case at the time, measuring 34mm and earning the name “king.” The large face allowed fighter pilots to easily read the time. The Rolex Air-King continues to be a popular style of Rolex to this day. Find a selection of Rolex Air-King watches and other styles on 1stDibs.

1967 ROLEX Vintage Mens Datejust Ref. 1601 Watch with Pie Pan Dial - Stainless Steel & 18K White Gold
Mint Original Dial - Fully Serviced by Former Rolex AD ($895) - 1 Year Warranty
Today's offering showcases this classic Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust ref. 1601 encased in stainless steel and 18K white gold.
Featuring clean lines and a sharp look, this watch embodies Rolex's timeless class. To us, when it comes to elegance and refinement, the Rolex "pie-pan" dial models from the late 50's through the mid-'70's were front-runners of the period.
And this one has fabulous markers.
As precise as it is classic, the watch is powered by a mechanism that powered many early models of the Submariner, Explorer, and GMT models. A superior mechanism, it offers a level of engineering and craftsmanship that is exceptional.
The watch is all-original condition down to the hands and has its likely original or period correct Rolex Jubilee bracelet. It is in excellent condition.
The centerpiece is its untouched original "pie-pan" dial. Which is in gorgeous mint condition. The luminous is near perfect under magnification.
Its case is in excellent condition with only very light wear to the underside. On the wrist it presents beautifully. The bezel retains crisp engine turning.
Its correct Rolex Jubilee "crimped link" bracelet presents in excellent condition with very little stretch, something seldom seen on Rolex bracelets that are more than half a century old.
One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Rolex replacements...
