Sonning Vintage Watches

We are working with a UK based collector who has asked us to market a selection of his watches. As part of the offer each watch has had a full service and refurbishment by the UK’s leading watchmaker, Steven Hale Watch Restoration. Each watch will come with a 2 year guarantee from Steve Hale and a lifetime guarantee on the authenticity by Sonning Vintage Watches.

This is a beautiful example of the iconic Rolex Air-King from 1972. The solid steel case is in near faultless condition with only the most minor signs of wear. The original Rolex signed steel pearlescent dial is again in excellent condition. The original Rolex signed automatic movement has just been serviced by Steven Hale and comes with their 2 year guarantee. The watch sits on a new, high quality, black strap with a genuine steel Rolex buckle.

In addition to our lifetime guarantee on provenance and authenticity we also give the 2 year warranty from SHWR.

Although there is no original paperwork, we do provide a written invoice and 3 page insurance valuation with the pictures of the watch and all available reference numbers. We also give a 12 month warranty on all our watches.

This is a rare and highly collectable vintage watch from one of horology’s most famous names and will, if history is any judge, provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to treasure and enjoy. I will provide an insurance valuation in excess of my asking price. Please appreciate the difficulty of photographing this piece, it looks even better in real life. Subject to your location I’ll happily show the watch.
