This marvellous, classic vintage chronograph has a 18 K rose gold case with gently curved lugs. The silvered dial with sunburst finish has applied rose gold indexes and hands and features a blue tachymeter scale that provides a striking contrast to the gold hands and the case. The movement is fitted with the legendary calibre 30CH, which was launched by Longines in 1947 and is considered by many to be the finest and most beautiful chronograph movement of all times.
