Introduction The Longines Flagship is one of the maison's most iconic and historically significant collections, first launched in 1957 to represent Longines' flagship craftsmanship. This ladies' model beautifully embodies the elegance and refined aesthetics that Longines has cultivated for nearly two centuries. With its two-tone stainless steel and gold-plated bracelet, sunburst champagne dial, and classic round case, this timepiece captures a timeless sophistication that appeals to both collectors and everyday wearers alike. Historical & Collector Value Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Longines is one of the oldest watchmaking houses still in operation, renowned for its precision, aviation heritage, and Olympic timekeeping legacy. The Flagship line, marked by the emblematic winged hourglass logo, was originally introduced to symbolize the very best of Longines' watchmaking. Vintage two-tone Flagship models from the 1990s are increasingly sought after by collectors for their refined proportions, classic dial layout, and the enduring value of the Longines name. This particular ladies' reference reflects the understated luxury that defined Swiss watchmaking of the era.
