Rolex Air-King 114200 — Silver Dial with 3-6-9 Arabic Numerals, 34 mm Stainless Steel, Box & Papers

LTFL Background and Ownership History

This Rolex Air-King is a familiar face at Luxury Time For Less®. LTFL sold it to a customer in the summer of 2026, delivered in exemplary condition. After a few months, she decided she wanted her watch to match her husband’s two-tone Rolex Datejust with its champagne stick dial — so LTFL found her exactly that watch, and this Air-King came back to us.

It has been unworn since its return, and it arrived in the same mint condition as when it was sold a few months earlier. It needed nothing for its original sale, and it continues to need nothing today.

This complete watch is sold with LTFL’s full one-year warranty covering defects in the movement, case and bracelet arising under normal wear, so the next owner can buy with confidence. Reasonable offers and trades are always considered.

Condition, Box and Papers

The 34 mm stainless steel Oyster case wears a smooth steel bezel and a silver dial with luminous stick markers, Arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 9, and stainless steel luminous hands, all beneath a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The serial number is engraved on the rehaut, the inner bezel ring. The case is 12 mm thick with 19 mm lugs, and water resistant to 100 meters / 330 feet.

Inside is a Swiss-made, chronometer-certified automatic movement with approximately 48 hours of power reserve. The watch is fitted with its stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet and deployant clasp, currently sized for a 6-inch wrist — LTFL will supply the links needed for the buyer’s comfortable fit. It comes complete with its original Rolex box and papers.

Heritage and Brand Origins

Rolex was founded in London in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, who moved the company to Geneva, Switzerland a decade later. From the very beginning, Wilsdorf was obsessed with two things: precision and waterproofing. In 1926 Rolex introduced the Oyster, the world’s first commercially successful waterproof wristwatch case.

The Air-King name dates to 1945 and a family of Rolex “Air” watches created in tribute to the Royal Air Force pilots of the Battle of Britain. Its siblings — the Air-Lion, Air-Giant and Air-Tiger — were eventually retired, but the Air-King lived on, and for decades it was the purest expression of the Oyster Perpetual: a clean, legible, three-hand automatic in a 34 mm steel case.

Reference 114200 belongs to the final generation of that original 34 mm Air-King, powered by Rolex’s chronometer-certified automatic Caliber 3130 — hence “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” on the dial. Rolex retired the 34 mm Air-King in 2014, and when the name returned in 2016 it came back as a 40 mm watch with an entirely different look. For anyone who wants the classic Air-King proportions, the 114200 is the last of the line, and one of the most versatile everyday Rolex watches ever made.
