Vintage Longines x Wittnauer, 14K Solid Gold Dress Watch with Guilloché Dial from 1954

This 1954 Longines wristwatch is exactly why dress watches are so trendy right now. The dial really steals the show. The guilloché outer chapter ring adds texture and depth while keeping everything clean and balanced. Applied gold hour markers, and faceted gold hands work together perfectly. Even better, the watch is completely original and in exceptional condition, which is becoming increasingly rare for gold watches from this era.

The case is made of solid 14K gold and was produced by DiVincenzo & Arienti (D&A) of Brooklyn, New York - one of the top American case makers of the time. D&A supplied cases for brands like Longines, Omega, and Rolex, and their quality is obvious here in the sharp lines and well-proportioned shape. Inside is a Longines manual-wind movement with serial number 9349689, dating the watch confidently to 1954. This is a proper vintage dress watch with nothing to explain away.
