Extremely rare Longines Automatic REF 7008 year 1958-1960, Habana Cuba, 18k gold case.
Automatic 24 Rubies Movement cal 7008, 18k gold case. 36mm. The Cabaret Sans Souci was one of the most luxurious, refined, and famous nightclubs and casinos in Havana during the Republic era, reaching its peak in the 1950s. Together with the Tropicana and the Club Montmartre, it formed the golden trio of Havana's vibrant nightlife. During Havana's golden age, the renowned retailer Cuervo y Sobrinos was the exclusive importer of the great Swiss watchmakers on the island (including Longines, Rolex, and Patek Philippe). The exclusive Sans Souci watch was given as a gift to the artists and major international stars who performed at the cabaret, as well as to distinguished personalities and the casino's very select VIP clients. During Havana's golden age, the legendary and luxurious Cuban jewellery house Cuervo y Sobrinos designed a special edition of Swiss watches exclusively for the Sans Souci Cabaret VIP clients. These refined watches were used by the club's owners as a high-end gift of the utmost distinction. Property of a collector.
