A truly stunning vintage 1955 solid 18k rose gold Longines Conquest Automatic with near mint original factory printed two-tone dial and high grade caliber 19AS movement, freshly serviced and ready to wear! For me the blue and black glass enamel medallion on the back takes this Longines to another level, above and beyond so many other solid gold models by other brands of the same era. This rare, and hard to find example in rose gold has lovely warm look on the wrist that only rose gold can provide. I just love the unusual "Fab Suisse" signed dial indicating either a European (or other French speaking) market watch. A stunning vintage timepiece of the highest quality in every regard from the famous house of Longines.
