Technical Features and Details: Mechanism/Caliber: Manual-wind mechanical movement of in-house Longines manufacture, Caliber 18.68Z.

Serial number engraved on the mechanism is 4,212,522, which is clean, bright, and free of rust. Dial: Beautiful original white porcelain/enamel dial, pristine with no cracks or hairlines (extremely rare in watches of this age). Notably stands out for its Three Stars (★★★ LONGINES) indicating the highest quality and precision of the era. It presents two numeration systems: black Roman numerals (1-12) and a red Arabic 24-hour scale (13-24). Small seconds at 6 o’clock. Case and Dust Cover: Art Nouveau style case beautifully engraved in solid silver standard (.900) with natural patina of the period and a smooth central shield without engraving.

The serial numbers on the case (range 4.22M) and the movement (4.21M) match precisely in time (1924), certifying that this is not a watch assembled from parts of different origins. Condition: Mechanical: RUNNING. The watch starts smoothly when wound and keeps time. (As this piece is over 100 years old, a lubrication is recommended if intended for regular daily use).

Terms of sale: We provide carefully protected and insured shipping (or in-person handover if agreed). A unique opportunity for collectors and vintage watch enthusiasts to own a piece of Longines history in exceptional condition."} } }
