Older and newer references
The Air-King references in our catalog split into the older 34 mm models and the newer 40 mm ones. Sort the table by size or years to see them apart; the older ones are only sold pre-owned, and our vintage Rolex page lists the earliest of them alongside other older references.
Dials
Some Air-King references were offered with more than one dial, and some dials have their own pages. Check the dial of any watch you are offered against the reference page, because the dial can move the price of an individual watch.
Before you buy
- Match the reference and serial on the papers to the watch.
- For older references, ask what has been replaced at a service.
- Compare the asking price with the individual sold prices on the reference page.

Why do some Air-King references show no price?
Some older references sell rarely, and we only publish a pre-owned range when enough recent, sourced sale results back it. Their pages still show the sold prices on file.
How do I sell a Rolex Air-King?
Find the reference number on the papers or between the lugs, note the dial, gather any papers and service records, and compare more than one offer. Our sell form takes four short steps, and we review every request.
Where to buy
- Dealers. Choose one that offers a return period and puts the reference, serial and condition in writing.
- Auction houses. Results are public after the sale, and a buyer's premium is added to the hammer price.
- Private sellers. Meet somewhere safe, check the papers against the watch, and pay in a traceable way.
Wherever you buy, have a watchmaker confirm the movement and serial before any return period ends. Each reference page above shows the recent sold prices we have on file, so you can compare an asking price with what the same reference has sold for.
