Very hard to find in solid gold, this 14K Longines "Hourglass" timepiece is in superb all original condition and looks stunning on the wrist. In my opinion, one of the most graceful case designs in watchmaking history, this model is very similar to the famous "Eiffel Tower" by Patek Philippe. The beautifully sculpted design is in near perfect condition with no personalized engraving, and the original factory printed dial looks wonderful although under very close inspection does have a very minor spots to note. Truly one of the most stunning watch designs Longines ever produced.
