Our View

Finding a vintage gold dress watch is easy. Finding one in this sort of condition is considerably harder.

This Longines offers everything enthusiasts look for: a beautifully proportioned 35mm case, elegant silver dial, original signed crown and a wonderful manual-wind movement. The fact that it was produced under licence by Baume adds an interesting historical element, while the substantial 9ct gold case provides both intrinsic and collector value.

The condition is undoubtedly the standout feature. Watches of this age rarely survive in such well-preserved order, making this a particularly attractive proposition for collectors of classic Swiss dress watches.
