Description
Longines La Grande Classique Gold-Plated MOP Ladies' Quartz — ETA 280.002. ETA 280.002 quartz inside, fresh battery, running cleanly. Included: Longines La Grande Classique on factory gold-plated five-row bracelet. No box or papers. Dial — the headline: Mother-of-pearl with lively rainbow iridescence — each MOP slice is unique and this one reads strongly pink and blue at angle. A Longines La Grande Classique in the gold-plated mother-of-pearl configuration: gold-plated case and bracelet over a stainless steel base, with a MOP dial that shifts through pink, blue, and green iridescence as the wrist moves. La Grande Classique has been Longines's signature thin women's dress line continuously since ~1992 — the watch you reach for when the brief is jewelry-grade dress, not sport. ETA 280.002 quartz inside, fresh battery, running cleanly. Dial — the headline: Mother-of-pearl with lively rainbow iridescence — each MOP slice is unique and this one reads strongly pink and blue at angle. Twelve applied gold baton markers, gold dauphine hands. LONGINES wordmark and the winged hourglass logo at twelve; small "Q W R" (Quartz Water-Resistant) text at six. The MOP is intact with no chipping or delamination — these dials can fault at the edges, this one hasn't. Movement + case: ETA 280.002, 5 jewels, Swiss-made quartz — the same base movement used in Longines's L963 series. Round gold-plated case over a stainless steel base, polished stainless caseback (left unplated, which is standard for gold-plated dress watches). Short integrated-style lugs flow into the bracelet for a clean, jewelry-piece silhouette. Bracelet + finish: Gold-plated five-row jubilee-style brick bracelet — the mixed brushed-and-polished facets across the gold-plate give the surface a play of light without any second metal in the mix. Factory bracelet, not an aftermarket replacement. Light handling marks on the gold-plate consistent with normal wear, but no brassing through to the underlying steel. Condition: MOP dial intact and lively, gold-plate shows light handling but is not worn through, crystal is clean, caseback shows only light hairlines. Fresh battery installed, running as expected for a quartz piece. The La Grande Classique sits in the sweet spot of Swiss women's quartz dress watches — real Swiss build with an ETA movement and a signed dial, without the modern Master Collection price tag. Used examples in this gold-plated MOP configuration cluster in the $200-$400 band depending on box/papers and bracelet condition. Same buyer cohort as Movado Faceto, Raymond Weil Parsifal, and other Swiss women's quartz dress pieces. Included: Longines La Grande Classique on factory gold-plated five-row bracelet. No box or papers.
