Extract of the archives

Conditions : I know that I often use the word rare and beautiful about the watches listed on the site but it’s absolutely not exaggerated about this Longines, reference 4296. If I’ve seen this very particular watch in a 1938 Longines catalog, I’ve never seen one in person in 30 years of collecting this brand! And this one is just incredible, the case, the black glossy dial (the black dial was confirmed by Longines heritage), the sectors, the patina, this watch has everything we like in a vintage timepiece. The watch was sold by Zora, the Longines agent in Bulgaria in 1939.
