Rolex Air-King 14000 'Salmon'

The Pink Sun

The Air-King is interesting in every way. There is so much variety in the Air-King model, and its history is not only important, but filled with many interesting stories.

The Air-King was based on the Oyster Perpetual which was very successful during the 1930’s but it was configurated with a new dial and name. Since many fighter pilots were already wearing an oyster perpetual, rebranding an existing watch would be a smart move. On the first advertisements it even said “Air-King, the new Rolex Oyster perpetual”. If that’s not quirky enough, Rolex officially released the Air-King in 1958 even though it had been produced and sold to the public for over a decade already whilst being introduced in 1946.

This model dates back to 1999 and with its beautiful sunburst pink dial and 34 mm case size, make this a perfect neo vintage example of an Air-King

Where history meets a timeless buyer definitely comes to practice with a watch like this one.
