You save 369,00 EUR right away The service and identification document is included in the price. Reference 23676, produced circa 1949, this Longines wristwatch represents the refined case design and mechanical craftsmanship of the late 1940s. It is powered by the manually wound Longines Caliber 27 M, a traditional in-house movement associated with the brand’s highly regarded mid-century production. The defining feature of this example is its exceptionally distinctive set of sculpted “Fancy Curved Lugs,” often described by collectors as flame-style lugs. Instead of conventional straight horns, each solid lug rises dramatically from the round case and curves outward in a deeply fluted, twin-ridged form, creating the visual impression of a stylized flame. Their elaborate three-dimensional construction gives the watch a noticeably stronger wrist presence and transforms an otherwise classical round case into a highly individual and immediately recognizable design. This ornamental lug architecture is one of the most unusual features encountered on vintage Longines dress watches. Specialist vintage-watch sources describe Reference 23676 as a rare “Fancy Lugs” model, making the case design an important part of the watch’s historical and collector appeal.
