Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the main details of this Longines DolceVita watch? A: This is a vintage Longines DolceVita reference L5.155.4 with a 20 mm stainless steel rectangular case, stainless steel bracelet, mother-of-pearl dial, diamond hour markers, a sub-seconds display at 6 o’clock and a quartz movement. It is Swiss-made and includes its box.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: The bracelet currently fits a wrist up to approximately 17.5 cm and comes with one extra link. The 20 mm size wears slim and elegant, making it especially well suited to smaller wrists or anyone who prefers a refined rectangular watch.
Q: Is the mother-of-pearl dial always the same colour? A: No. Mother-of-pearl is a natural material, so the dial can appear brighter, softer or more iridescent depending on the light and viewing angle. That slight variation is completely normal and part of its appeal.
Q: Is this watch mainly for dress wear, or can it be worn every day? A: The DolceVita is best known for its elegant rectangular profile, so it is an excellent dress watch. That said, the stainless steel case and bracelet also make it easy to wear day to day if you enjoy a polished, classic look.
Q: Is it water resistant? A: This reference is commonly listed at 3 ATM / 30 metres, which is suitable for light splashes rather than swimming, showering or prolonged water exposure. As this is a vintage pre-owned watch, we recommend treating water resistance cautiously unless it has been pressure-tested recently.
Q: Does it use a battery, and how much maintenance does it need? A: Yes. This model uses a quartz movement, so it is battery powered and generally lower-maintenance than a mechanical watch. Battery life varies with use, and full servicing is still recommended periodically to keep the watch running well over time.
Q: What condition is this piece in? A: The watch is listed in very good overall condition, with very good external and internal condition. Please note that there are scratches on the case and bracelet, which are consistent with careful vintage wear and are reflected in the product information and photos.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: This piece includes the box. If any additional paperwork or other items are not listed in the product information, they should be considered not included.
Q: How does the bracelet fasten? A: The watch has a deployment clasp closure. This style folds neatly closed over the wrist and gives the bracelet a clean, secure finish.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: At A Retro Tale, each pre-owned luxury piece is reviewed by specialists who assess details such as the reference, serial number, materials, dial, finishing and overall construction before it is listed for sale.
