Description:

Longines 17J grade 4LLV ladies' wrist watch #10081922, case #453553 590, beautiful nickel split plate vintage mechanical manual-wind movement with bold red ruby jewels, mint champagne-toned metal dial with a brushed finish and raised silver Arabic numbers & markers, slender silver steel wedge style hands.

Incredible 14k white gold (marked) oval smooth polish case with a raised round narrow bezel supporting a flat topped glass crystal with a cut-glass border and attached, graduated size articulated extended lugs, each lug has three progressively smaller 14k white gold triangular shaped segments, each with a small triangle cutout detail in the center, that hinge at each connection point so that the length of the watch will naturally curve to fit the wearer more comfortably, case is showing normal wear with a few light but notable scuffs across the articulated lugs, a professional jeweler may be able to buff these out, additionally it appears there are thin lines of discoloration at most of the joint lines on both the case & the lugs, we speculate that the material used to solder the components may not have been gold or was a slightly different tone and it has aged differently from the primary case components.

Measures approx. 15mm wide x 58mm lug to lug x 7mm (crystal included), weighs approx. 5.1dwt (movement but not band included), black nylon cord rope style band with white gold filled (WGF) Gemex cord guards and fold-over clasp. A very high quality vintage watch from the 1950s set into a fantastic case that we have never seen before, the articulated lugs something that must be seen to be appreciated, in excellent+ overall condition!
