Introduction The Longines DolceVita is one of the most iconic rectangular timepieces in modern watchmaking, embodying the elegance and Italian-inspired art of living that has defined the collection since its introduction. This ladies' model presents a refined silver-white dial with small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock, paired with a beautifully crafted stainless steel bracelet. Its slim, rectangular profile speaks to timeless sophistication. Historical & Collector Value Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Longines is one of the oldest continuously operating watch manufacturers in the world, celebrated for its winged hourglass logo, one of the oldest registered trademarks. The DolceVita line, launched in 1997, has become a signature collection of the brand, referencing Longines' rich Art Deco heritage from the 1920s. Early DolceVita models with a small seconds sub-dial such as this example are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate the classic proportions and the discreet complication that sets it apart from simpler two-hand versions. Its enduring design ensures continued desirability in the pre-owned market.
