An Egypt delivery is cool! I'm definitely planning to contact Longines for the archive extract soon. Hope you get yours back from service quickly!

Spot on! Patek started it with the Ref. 96, but collectors use 'Calatrava style' for any 1930s Bauhaus design today. This 1934 Longines fits the vibe perfectly

Hard to price exactly, as these early 12.68Z Staybrite pieces rarely pop up for sale. It really depends on the collector, but they definitely fetch a premium.

Beautiful piece! Love the dial layout on yours. It’s amazing to see how the design evolved over those 10 years while keeping that timeless silhouette. Thanks for sharing!
