Description

This is a really beautiful watch, one of my favourites - a rare Longines gents 9ct gold watch, dating from 1943 and in absolutely excellent condition for a watch of this age. The watch comes from my personal collection and as always much admired. The watch was made for the English market and features a gleaming solid 9ct gold case, original crown, a clean Longines hand-wound 15 jewel movement and a beautiful clean, crisp dial. The watch comes complete with a new leather strap and a quality presentation box.

You can feel confident buying from me - I offer a full refund if you are not entirely happy, as long as the watch is returned within seven days if UK customer, fourteen days if overseas, in the same condition. I also provide a full receipt, six months guarantee (long enough for you to assess the working order) and a professional insurance valuation. I also welcome you to come and view the watch at our central London address, in the New Bond Street area. I offer my customers online prices - well below value - with offline availability and service.

The solid 9ct gold case is in excellent gleaming condition, with no significant wear. The case measures 30mm wide, excluding the original crown x 35mm long, including the solid gold fixed bar lugs. The inside case is signed 'Stolkace' (the English casemakers), 'British made' and carries a full set of English hallmarks, dating to 1943.

The beautiful enamel dial is in mint clean condition and is signed 'Longines' and 'Swiss made'. The original blued steel hands are also in excellent condition, and the lens is very clear.

The Longines hand-wound 15 jewel movement is in superb, clean condition. It is signed 'Longines', 'Swiss made', '6693800', '1268Z' and '15 jewels'. The movement has just been serviced by a master watchmaker and is in excellent working order for its age.

This beautiful watch is on a new leather strap and comes complete with a new presentation box for safekeeping and wrapping as the perfect gift.

A simply superb watch from one of history's most famous names. Will provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to enjoy.
