Brand: Longines
Model: La Grande Classique Présence
Reference Number: L4.720.2
Serial Number: 31180292
Movement: Quartz caliber L.263.2 (ETA 955.412 base), 7 jewels
Dial: Champagne with vertical brushed finish and applied gold-tone indices
Case Size: 32 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Gold-tone with stainless steel caseback
Production Year: 1990s
Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
Dial and Hands
The elegant and minimalist dial features a striking champagne color enhanced by a vertical brushed finish. Applied gold-tone stick indices provide refined contrast, complemented by a neatly framed date window at the 3 o'clock position. The dial remains in clean condition with no visible spotting or damage. Legible and sharp, the gold-tone stick hands are detailed with black central stripes and display no visible oxidation or corrosion.
Case and Crystal
The classic thin dress profile is achieved through a slender gold-tone case and an integrated thin bezel. The case exhibits light surface scratches and handling marks, with light surface wear on the bezel consistent with its age. A stainless steel snap-on caseback shows minor wear, while the gold-tone ribbed crown also displays minor wear. The flat crystal remains clear, presenting no visible scratches or chips.
Movement
Inside beats the Longines caliber L.263.2, a 7-jewel quartz movement based on the ETA 955.412. The clean caliber is engraved with the Longines signature, jewel count, and caliber numbers. A battery is present, and the movement shows no visible corrosion or battery leak damage.
Strap
The watch is paired with a classic brown leather dress strap featuring a crocodile pattern. The strap shows light wear and creasing.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The dial and hands are exceptionally well-preserved, while the case and bezel display only light, honest surface wear consistent with careful handling.
Dimensions
The case measures 32 mm (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This La Grande Classique Présence is a superb example of traditional Swiss dress watch design. The combination of the textured champagne dial, ultra-thin case geometry, and reliable quartz caliber creates a highly versatile and sophisticated timepiece.
History
The Longines La Grande Classique Présence collection is respected for its dedication to traditional, ultra-thin dress silhouettes. Produced during the 1990s, the reference L4.720.2 represents this design philosophy. By utilizing the Longines caliber L.263.2, a refined 7-jewel quartz movement based on the proven ETA 955.412 architecture, Longines was able to maintain an exceptionally slender case profile without sacrificing reliability or the convenience of a date complication.
