Longines - 5063354 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a Longines open-face mechanical pocket watch with a very classic early Swiss pocket watch character. The white dial features black Arabic numerals, red 13 to 24 hour numerals, and subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock, giving the dial more visual interest than a standard single-scale layout. The case back is decorated with fine guilloché work and a central shield-shaped floral cartouche, while the inner dust cover is engraved with Longines, 10 Grands Prix and multiple medal motifs.
The most notable highlights of this watch are the Longines brand, the 0.800 silver case, the red 24-hour auxiliary scale and the medal-decorated inner dust cover.
