Notes

Housed in a 38 mm case, reference 5681 is rarely seen at auction. Featuring a single button flyback chronograph linked to the central minute counter, one stop on the button resets both instantly. Still fitted with its original dial, it is a great addition to the collector of rare Longines wristwatches.
