This VHP ladies Longines watch is a well built and high specification watch from a high quality brand. Model reference 4017.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the accompanying warranty card we can accurately date this watch to being sold in March 1991.
CONDITION
VHP stood for Very High Precision, and the myth that all quartz watches are as good as each other is proven not true by this and the likes of Seiko Grand Quartz. with any watch that has gold plating on the bezel and central links on the bracelet it is important to check for wear, and happily this is in very good condition. The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath, and is not only long now but also has two spare links. This is extra important on watches like this where you can not fit an alternative strap, thanks to the unique design. The box was missing the c clip and the lining to the top, but we have used a generic c clip now and it is better to have 75% of the box than none. The watch is fitted with Longines calibre 208.4, and ETA based movement that has the ability for very fine adjustment, in steps of a third of one second per month. Many standard quartz watches can be +/- 20 seconds a month, so this is very good engineering. The high specification of this movement continues with separate hour hand adjustment – ideal for switching time zones or between summer and winter clock changes. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.
Longines reintroduced the VHP name recently, but a new ladies watch costs £820. And at 36mm they are too large for many many tastes.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, papers, spare links and our Certificate of Authenticity.
