Sonning Vintage Watches Stunning & Rare 1972 Rolex Oyster Airking Precision Date Gents Vintage WatchThe Overview

This is a beautiful example of the rare and iconic Rolex Oyster Airking ‘Date’ dating from 1972 – the ‘Date’ version of the Airking was a special order and therefore hard to find. The steel case is in excellent condition with only the most minimal signs of wear. The original steel pearlescent Rolex signed dial is untouched and again in excellent condition. The applied steel hour batons and steel hands flow into the dial are perfectly framed by the gleaming steel smooth bezel. The high grade Rolex signed automatic movement is again in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by our professional watchmaker. To complete this watch we have added a super high quality black Hirsch ‘London’ alligator strap with steel aftermarket Rolex buckle.

Watches of this quality and in this condition are highly sought after – if history is any judge they will only increase in value.

As mentioned, it has just been serviced by my watchmaker and, in view of the high-grade Swiss movement, I will include a 12 month guarantee on the movement which is long enough for you to assess the working order.

The Case

The steel case is in excellent condition with only the most minimal signs of wear. The case measures 35mm across, excluding the winding crown and 41mm long including the lugs. The inside case is signed ‘Montres Rolex SA Geneva Switzerland’, ‘Patented Stainless Steel’ and the case number is ‘1500’. The age reference is ‘111.72’ dating it to 1972.

The Dial

The original steel pearlescent Rolex signed dial is untouched and again in excellent condition. The applied steel hour batons and steel hands flow into the dial are perfectly framed by the gleaming steel smooth bezel. The dial is signed ‘Rolex Oyster Perpetual Airking Date’, ‘Precision’ and ‘- T Swiss T-‘

The Movement

The high grade Rolex signed automatic movement is again in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by our professional watchmaker. The movement is signed ‘Rolex Geneva Swiss’, ’26 Fine Rubies’ and the calibre is ‘1520’.

The Strap

To complete this watch we have added a super high quality black Hirsch ‘London’ alligator strap with steel aftermarket Rolex buckle.
