Introduced in 1957 as part of Longines’ pioneering move to market watches under distinct model lines, the Flagship quickly earned a reputation as the quintessential dress watch of its era — defined by its elegant minimalism, exceptional quality and reliable movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example from the 1960s is housed in a 35mm yellow gold case of polished construction, framing a pristine brushed silver dial with applied gold baton hour markers and a generous date window at 3 o’clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The three-star “Flagship automatic” signature on the dial is accompanied by the classic Longines winged hourglass emblem, both hallmarks of the period. Yellow gold-tone dauphine hands complete the refined aesthetic. Powering the watch is the celebrated Longines Calibre 345 automatic movement — a 17-jewel self-winding movement of outstanding accuracy and reliability, held in the highest regard among vintage watch enthusiasts. The case back is engraved with the iconic Flagship motif. Presented on a black leather strap.
