Description

This is a remarkable almost museum quality example of the very rare solid 14ct gold Longines calibre 9LT Art Deco 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 14ct gold case is slightly oversize for the period measuring 266 wide and 37mm long excluding the original crown.

The case edges are sharp and crisp, the serrations on the original winding crown are sharp. The watch looks like it was kept hidden away in a drawer and rarely worn

The movement is a fine calibre 9LT 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.

It has a beautiful Art deco case with hooded lugs and stepped sides.

The beautiful dial is near perfect with stunning faceted hour markers that catch the light and very unusual asymmetric hands that just shout Art Deco

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.

We have fitted a soft chocolate brown strap 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

Art Deco watches are characterised by geometric shapes, clean lines, and symmetrical patterns, often featuring rectangular or square cases with stylised numerals and distinct lug designs.

Luxury timepieces from this era typically utilized solid gold (such as 14ct or 18ct), stainless steel, leather straps, and acrylic or glass crystals, housing intricate mechanical hand-wound or automatic movements.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarked precious metal cases, matching serial numbers on the inside case back and movement, and inspecting the craftsmanship and movement signatures of the maker.

A vintage gold dress watch pairs exceptionally well with tailored formal attire or smart-casual tailoring, serving as an understated yet sophisticated statement accessory.

To preserve a vintage mechanical watch, keep it away from moisture and magnetic fields, avoid manual over-winding, and service the movement with a professional horologist every three to five years.
