Atelier Note
A Longines La Grande Classique from the 1990s, 4 mm-thick gold-plated case, white two-hand dial and original two-tone bracelet. Checked, delivered with its Atelier Victor invoice serving as a certificate.
A slim Longines La Grande Classique, white dial and two-tone bracelet
The 32.5 mm round case does not exceed 4 mm in thickness: a thin polished bezel descends directly onto the Crystal, with no break from the case middle. The steel is covered with a gold plating that retains its sheen on the polished surfaces and develops patina over time on the edges. The steel caseback bears the reference of the piece.
The white lacquered dial has twelve printed black baton markers, doubled at 12 o'clock, and two slim black baton hands. The Longines name and winged hourglass, applied in gold-tone, sign the top of the dial; the word Swiss closes the bottom at 6 o'clock. No date window, no seconds hand: the display is limited to the hours and minutes.
The movement is a Swiss two-hand quartz, which allows this restrained thickness. The serial number places production in the 1990s.
The original two-tone steel bracelet, with alternating polished and satin-finished links, closes with an original Buckle; its 17.5 cm length is adjustable. The gold-tone crown sits in the case middle at 3 o'clock. With 38.5 mm of Lug-to-lug, the watch can be worn on a man's wrist as well as a woman's wrist.

Is the case solid gold?
No. The case is steel covered with a gold plating, like the two-tone bracelet. This plating shows patina born of time on the edges, visible in the photos.
Is this watch suitable for a woman's wrist?
Yes. With a 32.5 mm diameter, 38.5 mm Lug-to-lug and 4 mm thickness, it wears equally well on a man's or woman's wrist; the 17.5 cm bracelet is adjustable.
