1951 Longines classic Sei Tacche Watch with Mixed Arrow and Arabic Numerals Model 5697 brand_Tavannes dating from 2002-2003 Tudor releasedThis Watch We have here a stunningly aged longines Sei Tacche Reference 5697 (6 case back notches) The dial has the most unusual and in our opinion fantastic patina, almost like a baked caramel ,pumpkin soup effect or indeed Crme brle This gives no doubt to its originality.
