"It is a very rare and beautiful Longines timepiece from the early 1940s, featuring the renowned Caliber 13zn. It is a Stadtbright flyback chronograph with an extremely rare salmon two-tone dial. The unique salmon two-tone dial retains vivid coloration and two-tone shading, while the Stadtbright case with distinctive lugs is in excellent preserved condition, showing no signs of case thinning caused by polishing, making it truly remarkable.
Despite its compact 34mm size, the 13zn movement, along with its beautiful coloration and excellent condition, gives it a presence that surpasses its size. Longines' in-house caliber chronographs are considered masterpieces in the history of timepieces, and this particular piece exemplifies their perfection. It is destined to be valued and cherished as time goes on. The watch comes with accompanying archives."
