Description from the seller
An attractive and rare square-shaped Longines wristwatch dating exactly to 1950, featuring an extraordinary stepped case in 14-karat solid gold that measures 28 x 28 mm excluding the crown and lugs. This specific model represents a piece of horological history, born from the Longines-Wittnauer collaboration for the North American elite market of the era: the Swiss manufacturer exported movements that were subsequently cased in New York in splendid gold cases of American manufacture, as certified by the original 14K stamps on both the outside and inside the case back. The vintage dial offers a magnificent perimeter texture with vertical brushed stripes, complemented by applied geometric indices and gold Arabic numerals and the classic feuille hands. Inside beats the renowned and robust manual-wind mechanical movement of Longines manufacture, caliber 23Z, with 17 jewels, finely finished and identified by serial number 7944684, which confirms its year of production. 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 shop on the proper operation of the movement and shipped worldwide with professional packaging via fully tracked and insured shipping.
