Calatrava, 14kt yellow gold 38mm case, black épargne dial, 15.26, 1938

Dear watch aficionado. NEW available at my boutique this Longines Calatrava:

Longines Calatrava, 1938

14kt yellow gold case, 38mm

Black épargne dial by Lemmerich

These Longines Calatravas are highly appreciated nowadays by collectors, due to its timeless design, quality and sublime presence on the wrist.

This example has a lovely and rarely seen black épargne dial made by Lemmerich. These dials were very complicated to be made and do add tremendous value. The examination of the dial shows that it is all original and correctly stamped on the back with the correct signs of how this dial was made back in the day.

The case is 38mm, 3 parts, each lug is soldered to the case and it is made in 14kt yellow gold, which is not so common. Most of these watches were made in stainless steel at that time. The more, the case is in perfect shape with a deep hallmark underneath the snap on caseback and has as well fixed bars.

The movement is a legendary 15.26 and is superbly preserved. It is gilt finished with beautiful black polished screws. The “roue de couronne” & the “rochet” do have a beautiful soleil finish on top and the teeth are black polished.

The combination of the 38mm, 14kt yellow gold case and the beautiful black épargne dial makes this timepiece certainly a connoisseur’s choice and a great addition to every high-class watch collection.
