Four new gold versions of the Longines Mini Dolce Vita, with or without diamonds, push the accelerator on the more precious side of the collection.
Its roots can be found in a rectangular specimen Longines of 1927, when under the influence of Art Deco, watchmaking interpreted the spirit of an era when forms played with experimentation and creativity. We are talking about the Dolce Vita collection, born in 1997 and the first embodiment of the concept of elegance encapsulated in a motto that has become a symbol of the brand: 'Elegance is an attitude'.
Last year, the new evolution: Mini Dolce Vita introduced the new, more compact 21.5 x 29 mm size of the famous rectangular case into the collection, with clean, soft lines and the fresh, modern style of an elegant watch carved in steel.
The offer now expands, rewinding the thread of the history of jewellery watches that Longines realised since the beginning of the 19th century, with new versions made for the first time in 18-carat gold, both yellow and pink.

The arrangement of the painted blue Roman numerals, combined with the blued steel hands, creates an elegant contrast with the gold of the case. Small seconds are housed in an auxiliary dial at 6 o'clock.
