Today's offering showcases this breathtaking all-original World War II era lady's vintage Longines watch with over approx. 3 1/3 carats of high quality factory set diamonds.
Made from platinum and bejewelled with fiery round and baguette diamonds, the gorgeous case with an exquisite open frame geometric design embodies elegance and refined taste. Our photos couldn't do it justice!
Six large and very clean round and baguette diamonds create the centerpiece of the design. The 120 diamonds are very high quality - they appear to be colorless F-G color and very clean VS1-SI1 clarity. They are bright white and full of sparkle as you would expect from factory set diamonds on a high-end piece!
Made for the U.S. market, it features a 14K white gold bracelet with two full strands of diamonds all the way to the clasp.
We were fortunate to acquire the watch in beautiful all-original condition. All parts are original and the dial and hands are very clean.
It presents in stunning condition on the wrist. The case is near mint plus with light wear to the back. The untouched original dial, which has a great vintage style to it, is near mint plus.
One of our watchmakers has freshly disassembled the watch to the last screw and cleaned and oiled it. Its movement is very clean. Photos of the inside available upon request.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
