AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating and rare square-shaped Longines wristwatch dating exactly from 1950, characterized by an extraordinary stepped case in solid 14-carat gold measuring 28 x 28 mm excluding the crown and lugs. This specific model represents a piece of watchmaking history, born from the Longines-Wittnauer collaboration for the North American elite market of the era: the Swiss manufacture exported the movements which were subsequently housed in splendid American-made gold cases, as certified by the original 14K hallmarks both on the outside and inside the case back. The vintage dial offers a magnificent perimetric texture with vertical striped grooves, completed by geometric hour markers and applied gold Arabic numerals and the classic feuille hands. Inside ticks the renowned and robust manually wound caliber from Longines, the 23Z, with 17 jewels, finely finished and distinguished by serial number 7944684 that confirms its production year. The watch is completed with a green leather strap that creates an exceptional color contrast with the warm tone of the gold. It is offered with a 24-month warranty from our store on the correct functioning of the movement and shipped worldwide with professional packaging via fully tracked and insured shipping.
