This beautiful vintage Longines wristwatch in a rare 9 K pink gold case has a size of 35 mm, which was at the time creation, considered rather large. The silvered dial is in beautiful original condition and shows a slight even discolouration, which enhances the magnificent vintage look. The outer minute track features Arabic numerals and is calibrated to the fifth of a second. The blued steel hands create a wonderful contrast to the silver dial. The watch is powered by the Longines calibre 12.68N, which was launched in 1939 and was also used for military timepieces.
