1981 Longines 18ct Ultra Thin Quartz dress watch

The Watch

This 1981 Longines Ref.25510-02 is an elegant vintage dress watch, crafted in solid 18ct yellow gold. The watch features an incredibly slim, polished 32mm case. The dial is presented in a champagne colour, complemented by minimalist baton hour markers and slender hands. Powered by an accurate Swiss quartz movement; it is so thin that it disappears under any shirt cuff - perfect for formal or evening wear. Finished with a leather strap and traditional buckle fastening, this watch embodies vintage sophistication. Remarkably for a watch of this age and type, it comes with a set of papers and the original box.

Dimensions: 32mm wide, 3.5mm thick, 35mm lug-to-lug.
