Pre-Loved Rolex Air-King

Why the Air-King is iconic

Part of Rolex's line honouring aviation pioneers since the mid-20th century, the Air-King was reintroduced in its current form in 2016 with a bold 40mm case, prominent 5, 10 and 15-minute markers, and a dial referencing early cockpit instruments. It occupies a distinct niche between Rolex's dress and tool watches.

What to pay pre-owned

Expect a pre-owned UK range of roughly £2,300 to £6,500, with a median around £3,850. Full set examples with box, papers and unpolished cases sit at the top; heavily polished cases or a worn bracelet clasp bring the price down.

Sizes & variants

Produced in stainless steel with a black dial as standard; case size and dial marker layout have varied across generations.
