Few modern Rolex models carry the same blend of heritage, technical innovation, and collectability as the Air-King—and the Rolex Air-King 116900 pre-owned exemplifies that balance with confidence.

Produced between 2016 and 2022, this reference marked a bold evolution of the Air-King lineage, introducing a larger 40mm Oystersteel case and a striking aviation-inspired dial that set it apart from the rest of the Rolex catalogue. Designed as a tribute to Rolex’s long-standing association with aviation, the watch features oversized 3, 6, and 9 numerals, a prominent minute scale, and the instantly recognisable green and yellow Rolex signature—an aesthetic that has become increasingly sought after by collectors.

The robust Oystersteel case is paired with a solid-link Oyster bracelet, fitted with Rolex’s Easylink comfort extension for effortless micro-adjustments. This ensures both everyday comfort and long-term durability. Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, while the screw-down crown and solid case back provide water resistance up to 100 metres, reinforcing the watch’s professional tool-watch credentials.

Powering the Air-King 116900 is the Rolex Calibre 3131 automatic movement, engineered with antimagnetic shielding and renowned for its reliability and precision. With an impressive 70-hour power reserve, it is built for consistent performance and longevity—key attributes for collectors focused on investment-grade timepieces.

This example is offered in unworn, mint condition, complete with original box, papers, and Rolex warranty, and has been thoroughly inspected and authentication certified. For executives and collectors seeking a modern Rolex with heritage depth, strong resale strength, and long-term desirability, the Rolex Air-King 116900 represents a smart and distinctive addition to any serious collection.
