A late-1980s Longines Classic Ladies Quartz Ref. 962.6499 featuring a slim gold-plated 22mm case, clean champagne dial, and the ultra-reliable ETA 963.112 quartz movement. Elegant, minimalist, and easy to wear, this model sits within the design lineage that later inspired the La Grande Classique collection — combining refined proportions with understated vintage charm.
Why It’s Special
This reference represents Longines’ late-’80s dresswatch philosophy: thin, elegant, and focused on clean geometric lines. The champagne dial remains pristine with sharp printing and no ageing or spotting, complemented by the warm gold-plated finish of the case. Complete boxed examples from this era are uncommon, and this piece includes both boxes, manuals, and the original Longines papers, making it an ideal gift piece or a refined addition to a vintage-focused collection.
Condition
Excellent cosmetic condition with a pristine dial, sharp plating, and a clean mineral crystal. The case shows minimal wear consistent with careful use. Fitted with a brand-new black leather strap and genuine Longines buckle. Includes both inner and outer boxes, manuals, and warranty card — a complete, well-preserved set seldom found for this era.
Performance: Quartz movement running accurately.
