Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1950s.
It has an octagonal platinum case surrounded by diamonds and then more diamonds to the the most beautifully lugs which are articulated and very much of the Art Deco design. As you would expect from Longines the diamonds are bright, crisp and evenly matched and has approximately 1.5cts of diamonds.
The measurement for the whole of the platinum and diamond case including the lugs is 45mm long by 18mm wide not including the crown.
It is quite stunning with a pearlescent dial which is in perfect unmarked condition. A new glass has been fitted and it has been professionally cleaned and polished so it is absolutely pristine.
The 17 jewel is an absolute gem, sparkling clean and in like new condition, this is a movement from the golden age of Swiss watchmaking.
As you would expect from Longines the watch is fully marked on the dial and movement and the case is marked PLATINUM
Longines are one of the most exclusive makers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance which resonates class, truly a piece of jewelery which will never date.
Overall this watch is in beautiful condition and looks as if it was hardly ever worn, it would certainly make a perfect gift for any lady.
The watch has just been fully overhauled, restored and serviced and is guaranteed to be a genuine Longines in all respects.
This watch has been fully and professionally overhauled by the respected watch specialist Alan Williams FBHI, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.
