Story
Longines launched the DolceVita collection in 1997 as a tribute to the 'Italian Way of Life' and the effortless elegance of the 1930s.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Longines holds the distinction of having the oldest unchanged registered trademark in the world—the winged hourglass.
Condition & Value
The watch shows honest signs of wear with surface 'desk diving' scratches on the bracelet and case. Value is determined by the enduring popularity of the DolceVita line and the specific desirability of the black dial.
