    Really stunning. Love Longines. Love the 19AS which seems an accurate and trouble free automatic movement.

    This one's not quite so fine as yours, but has been dependable for probably 20 years now. From 1954, with 19AS movement in a 14kt gold case.

    Absolutely gorgeous, condition is stunning. I’ve got 2 circa 1954 conquests. The 18 karat gold fab. Suisse one is on the eBay now, as I’ve determined I don’t really need a gold watch.

    Longines made some really nice automatic movements during the 1940´s, 50´s and 60´s before the area of ETA started...

    for example a 341 from the early 60´s

    1955 19-AS.....I really like the designs Longines was putting out during this period....this 19-AS has proven to be a very robust and accurate timekeeper.

    Is it solid or gold plated? I guess plated?

    All guard is a nice early model!
    Lovely and original dialed early Longines (especially those with less common dials) automatics are still undervalued in my opinion. A good point to start for a new collector.

    Completely agree - the all guard is a great watch and definitely undervalued.

    I love mine but it doesn't get enough wrist time! I need the correct crown for it but gave up looking.
