1950s Rare Longines Aicerinox,浪琴, Self Winding movement 22AN
This is a very rare Longines timepiece called AICERINOX and we could not find a second model of it, so we contacted Longines and asked for an EXACT FROM THE ARCHIVES that says:
`Originally, the serial number 8'147'700 identifies a wristwatch in stainless steel bearing the reference 6006. It is fitted with a Longines mechanical self-winding movement, caliber 22AN. It was invoiced on 24 December 1951 to our former agent for China.`
We could not find not the model or the caliber ending with AN.
So, it explains a lot and it is probably a single piece as in China Longines was not to everyone available in the 1950s, this timepiece must have been owned by someone highly ranked person.
However the what has found its way back to Switzerland again, and we are very proud to be able to offer it for sale.
The watch case is extremely beautiful and the curved and long lugs make it look larger as it is.
The long black sword hands and the black numbers and indexes are sharp and you surely won't miss a second because of the lovely central sweep seconds hand kept its beautiful gold tone to help your eyes to follow.
Not only a rare timepiece but absolutely stunning looking and surely is an eye-catcher!
Perfect gift for a special loved one or to yourself!
Also, can be considered as a very good inflation safe investment.
