Exceptional vintage hand-wound Longines chronograph, equipped with the historic 30CH caliber with flyback function, unanimously recognized as one of the finest examples of 20th-century Swiss chronograph watchmaking and considered, for its technical design, finish, and performance, an absolute benchmark in international collectors' circles. The 30CH flyback caliber represents the pinnacle of Longines's hand-wound chronograph production, studied and sought after by the most discerning collectors for its refined architecture, integrated flyback function, and central role in the history of professional watchmaking, placing it on the same level as the most celebrated historic chronograph movements. The 36 mm rose gold case gives the timepiece a commanding yet perfectly balanced presence, combining elegance and sportiness in proportions that are highly prized today. It is in perfect condition, with clean lines, well-preserved surfaces, and a conservative approach that safeguards its historical integrity. The original dial, featuring a tachometric and telemetric scale, clearly expresses its instrumental and professional purpose, while maintaining a clean, highly legible aesthetic. Its charming, period graphics and visual coherence make this piece particularly desirable and irreplaceable. The crown is an original Longines, a key detail for collectors' accuracy, as is the original strap. The buckle is an original Longines but not contemporary, correctly declared. The watch also comes with an original, non-contemporary Longines box. The timepiece does not come with an official warranty, but is in perfect working order and accompanied by a certificate of legitimate provenance. This Longines 30CH flyback in rose gold is not just a simple vintage chronograph, but a highly collectible item, intended for those seeking a museum-quality timepiece, rare in its technical content, historical importance, and state of preservation, representing one of the absolute pinnacles of Longines manufacturing and 20th-century chronograph watchmaking.
