A beautifully preserved Longines Automatic 1501 from circa 1969, this classic dress watch radiates understated sophistication from one of Switzerland’s most respected maisons. The crisp silver sunburst dial, sharp indices, and date at 3 o’clock exemplify late-1960s style—perfect for collectors seeking a wearable, genuine vintage piece with enduring appeal. Powered by Longines’ venerable caliber 506 automatic movement, this is a rare opportunity to own a Swiss original that bridges reliability and refinement.
