Longines 18 kt Gold Art Deco – Year 1926 – Longines Caliber 15.54

Elegant gentlemen's Longines watch dated 1926, a magnificent original piece from the Art Deco era and an excellent representative of interwar Swiss watchmaking.

It houses a manual-wind mechanical movement, Longines caliber 15.54, signed by the manufacture and visible in the photographs. It is a classic Swiss movement of high quality, renowned for its precision and technical refinement.

The case is made of 18‑carat gold (750 thousandths) and bears the corresponding inner marks. It preserves an attractive vintage aesthetic with a slim, elegant profile, accompanied by a domed raised crystal, a very characteristic element of watches from the twenties.

The dial features a striking Art Deco numeral style and a small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock. Visible cracks are present, wear consistent with age, and possible old enamel restorations or retouches, especially near the 8 and 10 o'clock positions. These characteristics are part of the piece's history and authenticity.

The inner caseback contains an old ownership or dedication inscription, apparently "Lorenzo Carola", relatively discreet and softened by the passage of time.

The watch is in running condition at cataloging.
