HISTORY OF THE MODEL: - Watch is from the 70s, and it holds the savoir faire of vintage watches. Roger Dubuis himself worked for Longines during those years , and he founded himself and devoloped as one of the greatest watchmakers in history around the 80s. This piece is the "sympathie" model, that Mr. Roger Dubuis inspired himself in the acclaimed and famous current sympathie models that have struck the market in recent years. In the 70s, Longines developed another series of "sympathie models" like this one. With this iteration i haven´t seen much examples pop up in the market, with the model with yellow gold and blue dial with a lovely patina and wonderful golden steel hands. 0.
