Longines 14K YG Mustache Lugs circa 1950’s

SOLD

(Wire/check payment 3% DISCOUNT at checkout, unless terms specify wire payment only  in the listing)

A stylish and striking 14K yellow gold man’s Longines manual wind dress model with large “handlebar mustache” lugs circa 1950’s. Featuring a 30 x 39mm case with prominent lugs and striking original champagne dial with grooved radius pattern center and with outer tapered applied hour indexes and tapered alpha style hands. The stunning dial is further accented by raised gold “pearl” indexes around the perimeter of the dial.

Powered by a Longines manual wind caliber 23ZS movement with sweep seconds. Fully serviced and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation. With your choice of fine or colorful leather or exotic skin strap.

This is certainly one of the most distinctive of the dress models offered by Longines during the 1950’s and early 1960’s.  In our current world of more casual fashion, a model like this is suitable with any wardrobe. The pronounced mustache lugs lend a truly impressive stature to the watch make it a candidate for a man or woman’s wrist.

NOTE: While this model is typically referred to as the “mustache lugs” Longines, we think it is more fitting, and of course more poetic to refer to this model as Lyre shaped lugs. If you can visualize the pronounced curved design of the musical instrument, we think Lyre would be a better association to this stunning model!
