One of the most recognizable, classic, 1950s-Mad Men era wristwatches ever made is the Longines Flagship. It was 1957 when the first Flagship came out and this stunning example from 1959 looks like new.

 

This piece is all about the yellow gold capped case which looks like never used and gives this watch a certain appeal especially with the golden colored sunburst dial and clean layout.
