This is one of the earliest Air Kings we have ever had. In fact it is fitted with the last generation of the legendary Caliber 1530 movement. We are offering it with the original Riveted Oyster Bracelet and a heavy leather strap, it looks great with both. You will seldom see this early example of this famous model. We have just serviced it so it should not need another service for several years. It looks wonderful and is the perfect unisex size as well.
