This Longines isn’t just rare, it’s captivating. The New Old Stock condition alone is remarkable, but it’s the warm, salmon-peach-toned dial that steals the show. Luminous and untouched, it’s the kind of dial that stops your heart for a second and keeps you looking.

The reference 4730 isn’t one you come across often, and with a dial like this, It ascends into truly uncommon territory. Paired with its original blue presentation box, an extract from the Longines archives, and a period-correct Gay Frères ladder bracelet, this piece isn’t just collectible, it’s unforgettable, a quiet masterpiece for the collector who’s seen it all.

According to the Longines extract from the archives, the original serial number 6684xxx identifies a wristwatch in stainless steel bearing the reference 4730. It is fitted with a Longines manually wound mechanical movement, caliber 23M. It was invoiced on 19 June 1944 to the company Girod, in Spain.
