The Rolex Air King is arguably one of the most undervalued models in the brand's lineup. At 34mm, the 14000 reference is often overlooked for larger case sizes but as the market evolves, its clear that smaller pieces are becoming more acceptable, and for good reason. This smaller Oyster case has been worn for decades past and perhaps most notably on the wrist of Ryan Gosling in recent years. Its fair to say that it looks elegant on an average sized wrist and the collector community is becoming more open to slimmer designs in favor of the less bulky. 

On offer is one of the nicest Air King's we've come across to this day. It features a 3, 6, 9 "Explorer" layout dial in a gorgeous sunburst blue. All of the tritium in the dial and hands has aged cleanly and beautifully. The watch appears completely unpolished, has a tight bracelet and even retains its caseback sticker. Don't miss this one, we don't expect it to sit around long.
