1950s Longines Cal.22AS Rare 1st-automatic with 18k pink gold 36mm over size

This is an early 1950s Longines watch featuring the rare Cal. 22AS, the company's first automatic movement, housed in an oversized 36mm 18k pink gold case. Introduced in 1945, the in-house Cal. 22AS automatic movement is a highlight of this piece. The rare 18k pink gold case, with a diameter of 36mm and a strap width of 19mm, offers a substantial and luxurious feel. The silver dial, adorned with applied wedge indices and dauphine hands, exudes a sense of high-end craftsmanship characteristic of the first automatic models, making this a truly remarkable piece.
