Title: Longines Vintage 'Calatrava Style' – 1940s/50s – Iconic Design – No Reserve
Description
In this auction we present a piece of Swiss watchmaking history: a magnificent Longines "Solo Tempo" from the mid-20th century.
This timepiece perfectly embodies the minimalist, refined aesthetic that made the "Calatrava" design famous: a round case with clean lines, an essential dial, and an elegance that knows no trends. It is the very essence of the evening watch from the golden era, a piece that exudes the discreet charm of old-school watchmaking.
Details that make the difference:
Dial with Original Patina: The dial shows a beautiful, even patina of age that certifies its authenticity and enhances its vintage character. Small seconds at 6 o'clock, a technical and stylistic detail typical of Longines' noblest calibers.
Historical Mechanics: Inside beats a high-quality Longines mechanical heart. The watch is currently functioning, representing a rare opportunity for those who want an object that combines vintage engineering and timeless style.
Aesthetics: arrow-shaped indices and Arabic numerals that evoke the models most sought after by international collectors.
An opportunity for collectors:
Presented as a piece of watchmaking history, in the condition shown in the photo. The recent maintenance history is not available, which makes it a perfect project for someone who wants to take care of a piece of historic watchmaking.
Important Note: The watch is offered WITHOUT A RESERVE PRICE.
The highest bidder will win an icon of elegance whose proportions and design rival the great classics of the era.
