This classic Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King from around 1960 is a timeless example of Rolexβs understated vintage design. The watch features a gold shell case paired with a clean silver dial and elegant applied gold baton hour markers with matching gold tone hands.
Over time, the dial and hands have developed slight natural aging, which is common for vintage pieces of this era and adds to the character and authenticity of the watch.
The watch is powered by a reliable Rolex automatic caliber 1530 movement with 25 jewels, known for its durability and precision. It retains its original Rolex screw-down crown and the acrylic crystal remains in excellent condition.
This Air-King measures 32mm, offering classic vintage Rolex proportions. It is fitted with a genuine yellow crocodile leather strap with gold tone buckle (aftermarket).
The watch has been verified authentic, serviced, and timed by our in-house watchmaker and is offered with a two-year Romans Jewelry warranty.
