Own a superb example of classic Swiss watchmaking with this 1952 Longines 10K Gold Filled Rectangular "Tank" Wristwatch, an elegant timepiece that perfectly captures the refined styling of the early 1950s.

Inspired by the iconic rectangular "Tank" design that became synonymous with sophistication during the late 1940s and early 1950s, this vintage Longines offers timeless proportions, graceful symmetry, and exceptional period charm. Before the bold automotive-inspired styling of the late 1950s emerged, watches such as this represented the pinnacle of understated luxury and classic design.

Featuring its original signed dial with applied gold hour markers, elegant gold dagger hands, and the original domed crystal, this watch remains remarkably well preserved and presents beautifully on the wrist.

The high-quality Longines Calibre 9LT manual wind movement is running well and keeping good time, making this not only a highly collectable vintage watch but also a practical everyday classic.

Perfect for collectors, investors, or anyone seeking an authentic Swiss dress watch from one of the world's most respected manufacturers.
