SUMMARY

The Rolex Air-King is one of The Crown’s most overlooked references despite its rich history. The 5700 reference was released in the 1960s as an ‘everyday’ wearer and remained largely unchanged until it was replaced. With its versatile 34mm stainless steel case and silver dial, this example is ideal for the enthusiast seeking an understated neo-vintage Rolex from a bygone era.
