Antique Longines Pocket Watch, 1923

Antique Longines pocket watch, 1923.

The watch has a calibre 19.27 stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Longines name, and it has the serial number 4,162,302 which dates it back to 1923.

The watch measures 52mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and it is in good condition with general light surface marks, nothing serious at all. The inside of the case back has the Longines trade mark. Screw-on case back and bezel, a nice sign of quality.

The glass lens has small marks but is very acceptable.

The dial is signed ‘Longines, Rafael Gafio, San Martin 379, Bahia Blanca’, a province of Buenos Aires. Rafael Gafio would have been the original retailer of the watch. The dial is in beautiful condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers with 24 hour numbers in red.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
