This exquisite stainless steel time-only by Longines ticks every box any collector desires. It is blessed with an incredible black dial with white sectorial graphics, applied steel Arabic numerals and co-signed by Milan retailer Eberhard. The aesthetics and rarity of this dial would be enough to leave the most demanding collectors speechless but it is preserved in original condition with no signs of restoration. Most interestingly, the present watch is aesthetically very similar to a stainless steel Patek Philippe reference 96 sold at the The Geneva Watch Auction: XII for 378,000 CHF. Also retailed by the same storied retailer, it recalls the white graphics and dial composition. Most interestingly, the two watches were invoiced and delivered only one year apart, meaning that they could have very well been ordered for the same client, requesting two similar dial designs but from two different manufactures.
