Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1960s.
The case is of solid 18ct gold and very importantly it has a solid 18ct gold dial which means it will never deteriorate.
This is the Deluxe model which has diamonds to the 12, 6 and 9 and the date aperature.
It has a calibre 343 fully automatic movement which is just superb.
The case measures 35mm in diameter excluding the winding crown, of course it has the Longines logo on the crown, a genuine Longines buckle and marked Longines on the movement and case as you would expect.
The Flagship emblem in the back of the case is bright and crisp.
It also comes with both the inner and outer boxes and paperwork.
This is a rare model and in superb original condition much sought after by collectors.
It has been professionally serviced and overhauled, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.
It is stripped down to its component parts and each part is examined under a microscope for signs of wear, any worn parts are replaced with genuine manufacturers parts. Each part is then thoroughly cleaned in a three stage ultrasonic cleaning process.
The movement is then fully assembled using manufacturers approved oils and lubricants and is carried out in a clean room environment. The movement is then checked and adjusted for accurate time keeping. The cases are polished and sealed.
Obviously this is not a cheap or quick process which is why our watches are sometimes a little more expensive than others but you can be assured our watches will give you reliable and dependable service and will not require further service for many years.
