Longines TV-Case Diamond Dial 10K RGP Cal 528 Rare \"Stardust\" Patina 70s

IN GOOD COSMETIC CONDITION AND KEEPS ACCURATE TIME.

This elegant timepiece hails from the early 1970s, an era defined by bold geometric shapes and avant-garde designs. Longines, renowned for its rich history of precision and classic elegance, created this striking dress piece. Over the last 50 years, the original glossy black dial has aged phenomenally, developing a breathtaking, uniform natural \"stardust\" (confetti) patina that mimics a starry night sky. This completely untouched dial is accented by four genuine diamond hour markers at the cardinal points. Powering this piece is the ultra-slim, high-grade in-house Longines Caliber 528 manual-wind movement, a testament to the brand\'s traditional Swiss watchmaking mastery before the quartz crisis. With its distinctive TV-screen style silhouette and integrated aesthetic, it is a unique 1-of-1 collector\'s piece that beautifully captures the sophistication of 1970s luxury.
