The Absolute Horological Elegance: Longines Flagship Yellow Gold 18k Watch (1966).
This superb vintage Longines watch is a true time capsule from the year 1966. The Flagship model, a pinnacle of the brand's elegance, is here presented in a sumptuous version with a case and dial in 18k yellow gold. Powered by the famous self-winding mechanical movement caliber 345, it combines Swiss watchmaking precision of the 60s with an aesthetic of rare refinement.
Its sunburst-finished golden dial beautifully captures the light, enhanced by fine applied indexes and a date window at 3 o'clock. With its classic diameter of 35mm and its great thinness (only 6.3mm thick), this extra-flat profile piece will dress with distinction both a male and female wrist.
Ideal for retro-chic style enthusiasts, this pre-owned 18k gold watch can be worn alone for a classic dressed look or smartly paired with contemporary accessories, like a beautiful men's gold bracelet.
Why did we select it?
- For the richness of its 18k yellow gold case and dial, a precious metal that gives this piece the status of a true horological jewel.
- Its Longines 345 automatic caliber, a historical movement renowned for its reliability and finesse.
- Its exceptional state of preservation for a watch from 1966.
