Description

This is a remarkable almost museum quality unrestored example of the very rare Longines 27M Jumbo with fancy two tone dial from 1955

The only work we have carried out is to service the movement and give the case a light polish with a soft cloth.

The solid 18ct rose gold case is a jumbo size 38mm in diameter excluding the original crown.

The case edges are sharp and crisp, the serrations on the original winding crown are razor sharp. The watch looks like it was kept hidden away in a drawer and almost never worn

The movement is a calibre 27m which is quite rare and very high quality, this was Longines highest grade movement of this period. It has been freshly serviced and is currently running at plus 10 seconds per day , not bad for a 70 year old watch. The serial number dates this watch to 1955.

The beautiful two tone fancy dial is totally original and near perfect it has had no restoration whatsoever.

The hands are matching rose gold and all original.

Its the most original and perfect unrestored example you will ever see.

As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.

I our opinion this is the most beautiful gents watch we have ever sold

We have fitted a genuine alligator strap in chocolate brown but we can fit any colour or style you prefer.

A very rare high quality collectors piece that can be handed down through the generations.

You will never see another one like it.

We offer a highly personalised and bespoke service.

FAQs

The 1950s vintage dress watch style is characterised by minimalist dials, slender hands, index markers, and a focus on slim profiles suitable for formal attire.

Luxury timepieces from this era traditionally utilised solid gold, such as 18-carat yellow or rose gold, stainless steel cases, leather straps, and acrylic crystals.

Authentication involves inspecting the serial numbers on the case back and movement against manufacturer archives, verifying hallmark stamps for precious metals, and examining the craftsmanship of the mechanical calibre.

A vintage gold watch pairs exceptionally well with tailored suits, smart-casual tailoring, or minimalist knitwear, serving as a subtle yet sophisticated statement piece.

Preservation requires keeping the mechanical movement away from strong magnetic fields, avoiding moisture exposure unless the piece has a verified waterproof rating, and servicing the movement every three to five years.
