Solid 14k Gold Longines 17 jewel mechanical wristwatch with vintage dial.  While this watch retains its rich original patina, it has lost a few of its applied markers over the last 70 years.  The verso is complete with a exceptional hand engraving of the initials "H.P.S."  This level of engraving is a lost trade and represents the best artisanship of it's era. 
 
The watch winds and sets as it should, and keeps time to within 1 minute per day.
 
The watch weighs 26 grams in agregate, and we estimate that the heavy Longines case weighs at least 10 of those grams.  With that in mind,  the watch is fairly priced, and represents an exceptional value for a 14k case from this prestigious manufacturer.
