Rare and historically significant, this Longines King Saud Ref. 6615 is a remarkable timepiece produced in the late 1950s for the Royal House of Saudi Arabia. Its silver sunburst dial, featuring gold wedge indexes and dauphine hands, is highlighted by the portrait of King Saud bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, printed above the Longines logo. This special version was commissioned by the King himself as an official diplomatic gift. The 14K yellow gold case is finely crafted, displaying harmonious proportions and preserving all original Longines engravings inside and out. Inside beats the Longines Calibre 23Z, a manual-wind movement renowned for its precision and reliability — a perfect example of the brand’s postwar craftsmanship. Completed with a brown leather strap and gold buckle, the watch exudes understated elegance and timeless balance. This Longines King Saud is a rare fusion of Swiss horological excellence and Middle Eastern royal history — an exceptional collector’s piece seldom seen on the international market. Authentic, unrestored example, with original dial exhibiting light vintage patina, and a serviced, fully functional movement. Extremely rare commemorative model, highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
