Introduction A vintage Longines ladies' quartz wristwatch, reference 717 6032, presenting a clean champagne-gold sunray dial signed 'LONGINES' with the winged hourglass logo and 'QUARTZ' beneath, fitted with applied baton hour indices and slim dauphine-style hands. The round gold-toned case is paired with a brown genuine leather strap and a gold-toned buckle. The movement is the Swiss-made Longines calibre L717, a compact quartz movement produced for the ladies' line from the late 1970s onward. Historical / Era context Longines introduced its first quartz movements in the early 1970s, and the ref. 717 (calibre L717) became a staple of the brand's elegant ladies' dress range during the late 1970s and into the 1980s — a period when Swiss houses were reclaiming quartz territory with refined, slim cases. The champagne dial with baton indices and the restrained round case reflect the understated luxury aesthetic that defined Longines dress watches of that era. The caseback is stainless steel with a gold-toned bezel and case body, a construction typical of Longines ladies' pieces of this period. Condition The watch is running and keeping good time. The watch was checked running at the time of listing with a fresh battery. Battery life and long-term accuracy are not guaranteed. As a vintage timepiece it may benefit from a service. Case: The gold-toned case shows visible wear: the bezel rim and lugs carry scattered fine scratches and the plating shows rubbing on the lug edges and case sides consistent with age and use. The stainless steel caseback is in good condition with light circular marks from normal handling. When I turn the crown to set the time there is a slight friction sound, though time-setting functions correctly. Dial: The champagne sunray dial is in good condition overall, remaining legible and clean. The applied baton indices retain their finish and no significant staining or discolouration is present. Crystal: The mineral crystal shows fine surface scratches visible under direct light but remains clear and does not obscure the dial. Movement: The watch is running. The Longines calibre L717 quartz movement is a Swiss-made, compact ladies' movement; it can be examined with the caseback opened. Accessories: No original box or papers are included. The watch is presented on a replacement brown genuine leather strap with a gold-toned buckle. Band: the new replacement leather strap currently fitted is not original to the watch. Please review all photographs carefully for the detailed condition.
