--- Introduction --- An exercise in Swiss restraint, this Longines from the Les Grandes Classiques line distils dress watchmaking to its essentials. The ultra-slim gold-plated case frames a warm champagne dial, where slender applied batons and a pair of finely tapered hands are the only ornament, leaving the surface to catch the light unhindered. Founded in Saint-Imier in 1832, Longines built its reputation on precision and elegance, and this reference distils both into a watch that slips effortlessly beneath a shirt cuff. Presented on a black leather strap with a pin buckle, it remains one of the most quietly assured dress watches the house has produced. --- Specifications --- Brand: Longines Series: Les Grandes Classiques de Longines Reference: L4.620.2 Movement: Quartz Case Material: Gold-plated stainless steel, stainless steel case back Crystal: Sapphire Dial: Champagne with applied gold-tone baton indices, printed Longines winged hourglass emblem and SWISS MADE marking Case Back: Snap-on stainless steel, engraved Les Grandes Classiques de Longines, L4.620.2 and serial 29352691 Bracelet: Black leather strap with white contrast stitching and steel pin buckle (aftermarket, not original Longines) Period: 1990-1999 Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: Very good. A well-preserved example that has clearly been worn with care, retaining the crisp lines of its slim case.

Light surface marks and faint handling traces consistent with age and gentle use. The steel case back carries fine swirl marks and light scuffing from opening. Dial & Crystal: The champagne dial is clean and free of staining or blemishes, with all applied indices intact and the printing sharp. The crystal shows a small number of fine hairline scratches, most visible towards the lower and upper portions of the dial in raking light; they do not impair legibility.
