Vintage Longines Record 1974 Gold-Filled Automatic, Champagne Dial, Burgundy Leather Strap – Near-Mint Condition

Completely untouched, authentic

We are proud to present this magnificent Longines watch in superb vintage condition, a true testament to the brand’s exceptional craftsmanship. Completely untouched, authentic, and fully original, this timepiece hails from the era when Longines and Rolex were fierce rivals. Serviced around nine years ago, it has seen minimal wear, reserved only for special occasions. Its slim profile makes it perfect for formal events, easily slipping under shirt cuffs for a sleek, elegant fit. The champagne dial remains pristine except for a tiny mark below the 12 o’clock position, which could easily be polished out if desired. The slight patina around the 4 and 5 o’clock markers further highlights its originality, making this watch a true collector’s piece.

The dial is beautifully designed with gently polished raised batons and subtle black accents between them. Gold hands and a squared-off date window at the 3 o'clock position add an extra touch of sophistication. Fully signed and with a gold-filled case, this Longines embodies both style and durability. The high-quality Burgundy calf leather strap integrates seamlessly into the case, further enhancing the watch’s refined aesthetic. The watch’s remarkable accuracy ensures it functions just as impeccably as it looks, maintaining perfect time as one would expect from such a prestigious brand. It exudes a significant wrist presence without being overbearing, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate understated elegance.

What truly sets this Longines apart is its near-mint condition, a rarity for a watch of this age. Having been carefully stored in a watch cabinet and rarely worn, it has been preserved in excellent condition. At nearly 50 years old, this timepiece remains a prime example of the high-quality Swiss craftsmanship Longines is known for. Gold-filled watches like this are far superior to gold-plated models, offering a durable layer of real gold that can even be recovered if desired. While we do not have the tools to open the case back ourselves, we assure you that the movement is fully signed. This watch is ready to be enjoyed for many more years and would make a fantastic addition to any serious watch collection or serve as a fine investment for the future.
