Longines 1950s Automatic Watch In Rose Gold

Elegant Longines watch in 18-carat pink gold, dating from the 1950s, an emblematic period during which the manufacture fully asserted its identity between horological rigor and aesthetic refinement.

Powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, this piece illustrates the traditional savoir-faire of the Longines house, renowned for the quality of its calibers and the precision of its watches since the early 20th century. The introduction and mastery of automatic systems in the middle of the century marked a major technical advance, offering comfort of use and greater autonomy on a daily basis.

The dial, of great subtlety, is distinguished by a particularly elegant sectorized construction: a satin-finished central zone contrasting with a slightly patinated periphery, punctuated by a pearled minute track. The applied hour markers alternate between Arabic numerals and faceted indexes, offering a visual balance typical of the 50's, between legibility and sophistication.

The small seconds counter at 6 o'clock completes this composition, bringing rhythm and depth to the whole.

The slender, faceted dauphine hands catch the light with finesse, reinforcing the model's precious character. The whole exudes a soft yet structured aesthetic, highly representative of post-war watchmaking design.

The rose gold case, with its restrained, perfectly balanced proportions, features beautifully sculpted, slightly stretched lugs that participate fully in the watch's overall elegance. The polished finish highlights the warmth of the metal and underlines the quality of the craftsmanship. Its volume today makes it perfectly mixed.

Worn, the watch reveals all its relevance: a discreet yet assertive presence, a subtle luxury, far from any ostentation. It embodies that very accurate idea of 50's watchmaking chic, where technical mastery serves the line.

As a collector's watch, this model brings together the signature of a great Swiss manufacture, a sought-after automatic movement and timeless aesthetics, in a perfectly coherent and seductive piece.

In perfect condition and serviced, its good working order is guaranteed by us for one year (except in the event of shock or immersion). Please note: the mark on the bottom of the case is only due to the hallmark.
