The Rolex reference 14000 'Air-King' with a color change 'olive' dial is a vintage, stainless steel watch from the period of 1989–2000 that originally had a different-colored dial. Over time, exposure to sunlight and natural aging caused the dial to turn a unique olive/beige color, making it a desirable and unique timepiece for collectors. 

Bracelet size: Approx. 7 inches
Overall Condition: Dial has changed (patinaed) from original blue to a warm faded olive color. Light scratches throughout consistent with age and use. The watch winds, sets and runs at the time of cataloguing but has not been timed for accuracy.

Please note that Freeman’s Hindman does not warranty the watch at the time of the auction or after its purchase. Potential buyers should be advised that though the watch may be running at the time of cataloging, it may stop running before the auction and servicing is recommended for all timepieces. The authenticity of individual parts is not guaranteed since repairs and restoration may have occurred. Hindman assumes all watches are unisex and does not specify the gender of a piece. For size reference, please see the case measurements of the piece listed under dimensions.
