This particular model exemplifies the understated sophistication that made Longines a favorite among discerning collectors and gentlemen throughout the mid-20th century.

Historical & Collector Value

The champagne dial with applied gold-tone indices and the iconic winged hourglass logo represent the pinnacle of classic Swiss watch design. Coming complete with its original branded presentation box significantly enhances its collectibility, as complete vintage sets are becoming increasingly scarce on the market.
