Blued steel cathedral hands add a refined contrast to the overall composition. Preserved in excellent overall condition, the present Longines, whether worn as a statement piece or cherished as a collector’s item, is a testament to the artistry and innovation of a bygone era, making it a truly remarkable addition to any serious collection.
