1940s Longines Cal.9L Long curvex Fancy-lugs design with Silver unique dial in 14K yellow gold

This is an early 1940s Longines equipped with the Cal.9L movement, featuring a rare 14K yellow gold long curvex case with a fancy lug design and a silver unique dial.
The curvex case with its elegant fancy lugs measures a long 40mm, giving it a strong wrist presence that exceeds its actual size thanks to the distinctive design. The dial, tailored to match the elongated case, features a crisscross pattern at the top and bottom, while the indexes combine applied and engraved elements for a striking and uncommon aesthetic.
It is a rare piece that showcases the refined, decorative charm characteristic of American-style watches, contrasting with the more rugged appeal typically associated with Longines. The watch is powered by Longines’ in-house rectangular movement, Cal.9L, and comes fitted with a vintage strap.
