Celebrating the Italian art of living—la dolce vita—and the geometric glamour of 1920s Art Deco horology, the Longines DolceVita 20.80 x 32.00mm L52555717 brings classic bi-color luxury to an elegant feminine silhouette. Sculpted in a slender rectangular case combining surgical-grade 316L stainless steel with an 18 karat yellow gold cap 200, this dress timepiece features an artisanal silver "flinqué" dial engraved with radiating guilloché wave patterns that catch ambient light. Framed by painted deep blue Roman numerals, thermal-blued steel sword hands, and an unblemished two-hand layout beneath a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, it is powered by a high-precision Swiss quartz movement (Calibre L178). Completed with an articulated two-tone stainless steel and 18k yellow gold cap multi-link bracelet with a triple safety folding clasp and 30-metre water resistance, it transitions effortlessly from daytime business elegance to evening formal wear.

Design & Craftsmanship
1920s Art Deco Glamour & Petite Proportions
Drawing direct inspiration from a historic rectangular Longines timepiece from the Roaring Twenties, the DolceVita line represents an enduring symbol of contemporary elegance. Sized in a petite 20.80 mm width by 32.00 mm length, reference L5.255.5.71.7 offers a refined, jewelry-like presence tailored for slender wrists. The case flanks feature mirror-polished surfaces with gentle lateral arches that ensure the watch rests completely flat against the skin, while the ultra-thin 6.90 mm case height glides effortlessly under dress cuffs.
Radiating "Flinqué" Dial & Blued-Steel Contrast
The dial showcases traditional Swiss decorative craftsmanship through its silver "flinqué" finish. Fine concentric wave ridges emanate outward from the center, coated beneath a smooth layer of translucent protective lacquer to produce optical depth and brilliance. Deep blue painted Roman numerals and thermal-blued sword hands provide rich contrast against the silver canvas, while the pure two-hand design preserves uncluttered visual balance across the rectangular dial.
Two-Tone Yellow Gold Metallurgy & Swiss Calibre L178
The watch incorporates Longines' proprietary "Gold Cap 200" process, fusing a 200-micron layer of solid 18 karat yellow gold onto surgical-grade stainless steel across the crown and central bracelet links. This technique delivers the genuine warmth and aesthetic weight of solid gold with the structural strength of steel. Inside ticks the Swiss-made Longines Calibre L178 quartz movement, ensuring grab-and-go precision without requiring manual winding or resetting.
