Longines Ref. 5620 lady’s wristwatch, invoiced on 23 November 1948

An exceptional lady’s steel manually wound centre seconds wristwatch with salmon dial

An outstanding example of a rare centre seconds lady’s model, this wristwatch is in almost unused condition and retains its original stitched leather strap. According to the Longines archives, this watch was delivered to Longines’ UK agent, Baume, on 23 November 1948 under order number 23601. The steel case retains its original winding crown and has excellent detailing throughout with sharp and crisp tapered chamfers to the lugs, and clean vertically satin finished case sides. The dial has a salmon coloured tone with black Arabic and raised steel disc indexes, unusually this is a centre seconds model, the majority of ladies watches from this period featured subsidiary seconds or, indeed, no seconds. This watch is fitted with its original sewn-on fully stitched leather strap with plain pin buckle.

This is a rare opportunity to own an unusual and outstanding example of an almost new/old stock 1940s Longines lady’s wristwatch.
