We are always scouring the web for the most amazing watches currently available, and each Friday Shopping Time shares five standout timepieces with you.
Though prices for Rolex sports watches keep falling, the smaller Rolex Day-Date has shot up in value—a full 57 percent in Auguest, according to the watch market tracker Everywatch. You know we love our watch market data, so much so that we have a primer on how to use watch market data to inform your collecting. And while hearing about dropping prices on everything from the the Rolex GMT Master to the Submariner to a bevy of good deals on current Rolex references, and, yes, even the modern Daytona, is always good news, it’s also become abundantly clear that smaller watches are in vogue among collectors ever since the pandemic neophytes and crypto-bros got out of the game.
The current market and sartorial context are, then, perfect for the Rolex Air-King, a watch we detailed the entire history of in our thoroughly researched Air-King Collector’s Guide recently. Vintage modes are almost all 34 mm, though there are a smattering of 36 mm models as well as the modern iterations at modern sizes. What’s so delightful about the Air-King is that they are full-on Rolex watches with a more discrete stance—almost ready for those seeking quiet luxury.
Below are the five best Air-Kings on the market right now.
