Longines Sei Tacche ref.5193

Case: Stainless steel, sei tacche screwed back, stepped case
Diameter: Automatique
Dial: Radium hands and numerals, strong yellow patina
Movement: 12.68n, serial number6704652

Band : Italian leather band

Conditions: A large sei tache with step case, very massive case. Actually the 5193 are much rarer than the Tre Tacche and the case is thicker. Most of the 5193 were surprisingly sold in Egypt or in Asia. This one was sold by Cabri, the Longines agent in Egypt, in 1944. And what about the incredible yoke patina of the dial! The deep yellow and the original radium makes a beautiful contrast on that watch.
