Longines gold-plated: the Swiss dress watch with golden guilloché dial and horseshoe lugs
This watch is signed Longines, one of the oldest and most prestigious Swiss watch manufactures, founded in 1832 and recognizable by its winged hourglass emblem. Unisex, it can be worn equally well by a man or a woman. Its round gold-plated case stands out for its horseshoe lugs, those open U-shaped attachments that connect the strap to the case middle in an elegant and distinctive design. It measures 30.6mm (32.1mm with the crown) for a Lug-to-lug of 40.6mm and a thickness of only 5.1mm. An extra-flat and refined piece.
The golden dial is the piece’s greatest asset. Its surface is adorned with a superb concentric guilloché pattern, radiating from the center and catching the light in regular waves, a dial work of great finesse. Applied golden baton hour markers punctuate its perimeter, beneath the Longines winged hourglass logo and the word Quartz in cursive script. Two fine golden hands trace the time with minimalist elegance.
Inside beats a Swiss quartz movement. In practice, maintenance is limited to battery replacement by any watchmaker. The movement of this example has been checked by our watchmaker and the battery replaced before shipping. It is the choice of precision and simplicity, serving a dial of great beauty and a prestigious signature.
On the wrist, the piece plays the card of the refined de ville jewel. The warm gold-plating, the guilloché dial, and the blue cabochon crown create a dress watch of great elegance, highlighted here by a black genuine crocodile leather strap. This strap is not original. The Lug width of 14mm directs the choice of replacement straps toward narrow widths.
Three points to note
- The golden dial with concentric guilloché is the true refinement of the piece: dial work that captures the light in regular waves.
- The horseshoe lugs, open in a U shape, are the characteristic design feature of this Longines model.
- The case is gold-plated, not solid gold: it shows light signs of wear, noted in full transparency.

Frequently asked questions
What is Longines?
Longines is a Swiss watch manufacture founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, one of the oldest brands still operating under the same name. Recognizable by its winged hourglass emblem, it enjoys immense prestige, particularly for its aviation watches and chronographs. This dress piece reflects that elegance in an accessible format.
What is a guilloché dial?
Guilloché is an engraved decoration of fine, regular motifs, here concentric circles radiating from the center of the dial. This traditional workmanship captures and reflects light in successive waves, bringing precious depth and refinement to the dial. It is one of the main aesthetic attractions of this Longines.
Is the case solid gold?
No: it is a gold-plated case with a steel back, a common construction on dress watches from this period. The plating brings the warmth and brilliance of gold for a fraction of its price. This piece shows light signs of wear on its plating, noted in full transparency.
Is this Longines water-resistant?
No. Water resistance is never guaranteed on a vintage watch: the original gaskets have aged, and the pressure of the caseback is no longer what it was on the first day. Avoid the shower, the pool, and the sea. Simple contact with rainwater, however, does not pose any difficulty.
This watch is suitable for which wrist?
With a 30.6mm case and a Lug-to-lug of 40.6mm elongated by its horseshoe lugs, it is ideally a dress watch in a versatile size. That said, a watch is also a matter of style: depending on taste and the desired look, it can be worn equally well by a man or a woman, on all kinds of wrists. The measurement is only a guide, never a rule.
