Longines Gold Tone Rectangular Wristwatch With Leather Strap In Original Box Appraisal

Longines Gold-Tone Rectangular Wristwatch with Leather Strap in Original Box

This is a Longines wristwatch, presented in what appears to be its original branded packaging, likely for an auction event as indicated by 'theauctionrooms.com.au' and 'the auction room' logos. The watch features a rectangular, gold-tone case, which has a polished finish. The dial is light-colored, possibly white or a very pale blue, and is marked with the 'Longines' brand name and winged hourglass logo located below the 12 o'clock position. The time is indicated by a combination of Roman numerals for the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, with stick hour markers for the other indices. It has two central hands for hours and minutes, and a slender central seconds hand. A small crown is visible on the right side of the watch case. The watch is fitted with a dark brown, possibly black, leather strap with a textured or embossed pattern, resembling alligator or lizard skin. The watch is nestled within a gold-yellow velvet-lined presentation box, which is part of a larger brown and gold Longines branded box. The box itself shows some signs of wear, particularly around the edges and corners, suggesting it is not new. A white rectangular sticker with the numbers '27153 08' is affixed to the side of the box, potentially an inventory or lot number. Another small label with '620' is visible below it. The overall aesthetic suggests a classic, possibly vintage, dress watch from a well-established luxury brand. The condition of the watch itself appears good from the visible angles, with no obvious major damage to the crystal or case, though closer inspection would be required for a definitive assessment. The inclusion of the original box and branding adds to its presentation and potential collectible value.
