This timepiece is a magnificent artifact from the late 1980s, representing Longines’ prestigious "Presence" line. The reference 817-4131  (serial 553526) is defined by its ultra-slim, gold-toned circular case and a breathtaking champagne-cream dial featuring classic Roman numeral indices that provide a look of enduring sophistication. It is powered by manual winding , engineered to be remarkably thin while maintaining the surgical precision for which Longines is world-renowned.

The architecture is quintessentially refined, utilizing a sleek, low-profile case with tapered lugs that slide effortlessly under a tailored shirt cuff. The dial is a work of high-end Swiss art, featuring minimalist baton hands and the proud "Winged Hourglass" logo the oldest unchanged trademark in horology. Flipping the watch over reveals the solid stainless steel caseback with crisp engravings, definitively confirming its authentic Swiss heritage. This is an essential acquisition for an elite collector who appreciates Swiss minimalist design, the mechanical soul of a precision quartz heart, and the sharp, shimmering presence of a vintage Longines.
