Antique Silver Longines Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique silver Longines pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, calibre 19.75N, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 3,426,984 which dates it back to 1916. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which is signed with the Longines name, and it has details of various trade medals won around Europe.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 800 silver and with rose gold wash detail, known as a galonne case. It is in beautiful condition and the engine turned detail is still lovely and crisp. The cartouche to the hinged case back has the initials NR or RN.

The watch glass is in very nice condition.

The signed dial is in super condition. The central 24 hour detail is a later addition, probably added soon after the watch was produced. Beautiful ornate hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes with a single chain, 28cm long including the clasps.

The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box.
