A Very Chic Rolex Air King - Model Ref: 14010, with a stylish grey dial and coveted bamboo bezel, a stunning watch, c.1995

The Rolex Air-King was introduced in 1945 as part of Hans Wilsdorf’s tribute to the brave RAF pilots of World War II, many of whom relied on Rolex watches in the cockpit. Its clean, legible dial and reliable movement made it a favourite among aviators. Over the decades, the Air-King has evolved yet remained faithful to its aviation heritage, symbolising Rolex’s enduring commitment to precision, durability, and understated style within the brand’s iconic Oyster Perpetual line.

This Rolex Air-King Reference 14010, dating back to circa 1995, is a superb example of the brand’s enduring aviation-inspired line. Featuring the distinctive engine-turned “bamboo” bezel, this model adds subtle texture and refinement to the classic Oyster case.
