Movement Serial #4466496 = 1925.

In this period, Longines, at least at times, printed the same # on both case and movement, which is nice - you know movement is original to case.

Can't tell at this distance for sure if dial is original or old redial - but it looks good to me, in this respect. That said, the dial is pretty far gone - and not a good candidate in this regard -- also,at 22mm, not a 'fashionable' shape or size, in my view -- likely not a candidate for appreciation, if that is your concern. Nice hands. Case - though Au - is, to me, unremarkable.

-- for what little it may be worth :-)
