Airking 126900
This is a brand-new, unworn and unused, with no signs of wear on case, bracelet or clasp example of the Airking (ref. 126900), presented in 40mm with a black numeral dial. Listed with box: yes, papers: yes, it is offered here exactly as acquired from the original seller.
About the Air-King
The Air-King descends from the aviation watches Rolex supplied to RAF pilots in the 1930s and 1940s, and it is the last of those cockpit dials still in the catalogue. The 126900, refreshed in 2022, refined the 40mm case with crown guards, a newly designed bracelet and a removed-then-restored ‘AIR-KING’ text arrangement on the quirky black dial with its bold yellow ‘5’. It is the entry point into Rolex’s aeronautical history with genuine pilot-watch intent.
