Dating to 1977, this beautiful Longines has been exceptionally well preserved, featuring a handsome 9-carat gold Baume-signed case, complete with its original signed crown. The elegant champagne dial showcases applied baton black in-fill hour markers with long radial indices, creating a refined and understated aesthetic that perfectly captures the sophistication of late-1970s dress watches.

Powered by the reliable manual-wind calibre 6942, the watch offers the engaging ownership experience that only a hand-wound movement can provide. The slim proportions and warm gold case make for an effortlessly elegant presence on the wrist, equally suited to formal occasions or everyday wear.

What truly elevates this example is its outstanding provenance. The watch is accompanied by its original paperwork from NV Hall of Birmingham, along with its original presentation box, offering a wonderful glimpse into the watch’s history and adding considerable appeal for collectors.

Honest, complete, and beautifully preserved, this Longines represents everything we admire about vintage dress watches: timeless design, excellent proportions, and genuine originality. A superb package and an exceptionally attractive example from one of Switzerland’s most respected watchmakers.
