Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1950s.
It has a platinum case surrounded by a mixture of old European and two large baguette cut diamonds and then on the articulated lugs, the approximate carat weight is 2cts. It is very much of the Art Deco era in design.
As you would expect from Longines the diamonds are bright, crisp and evenly matched. It retains its original solid 9ct white gold d bracelet which fits a wrist size of up to 7.25 inches but this can easily be reduced by any competent jeweller.
The platinum section including the articulated lugs is 52mm long and 12mm wide.
It is quite stunning with a white dial which is in perfect condition. A new domed glass has been fitted and it has been professionally cleaned and polished so it is absolutely pristine.
The 17 jewel movement 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.
It comes complete with a presentation box to keep your watch in perfect condition.
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 jewellery which will never date.
