Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1940s.
It has a platinum case surrounded by diamonds and then more diamonds to the highly decorative platinum shoulders which are articulated and simply glides around the wrist - very much of the Art Deco era in design.
There are 42 Old European cut diamonds which are deeper than modern day ones and a total of approximately 5cts.
The watch head itself measures 25mm in diameter excluding the winding crown, the shoulders are 12 mm wide and the total length from the end of the shoulder to shoulder is 61mm.
It is attached to its original 18ct white gold mesh bracelet which goes over your hand and can then be adjusted to fit most wrist size.
As you would expect from Longines the diamonds are bright, crisp and evenly matched, the sparkle they generate is just stunning.
It comes with its original box by Harrods.
It is quite superb with its original Longines starburst dial which is in wonderful condition. A new glass has been fitted and it has been cleaned and polished so it is absolutely beautiful.
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.
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.
