Among the most interesting of these is the uncommon asymmetrical. Today's offering showcases this prime original example of the rarest version of these watches - one with Jaeger-LeCoultre factory diamond dial with full diamond indices.
We were fortunate to acquire this fine gentleman's watch in beautiful original condition. The condition of the case is better than any other we have owned. It is fully JLC / LeCoultre down to the hands and signed crown.
The case is just short of mint. The edges and the factory Florentine texturing are crisp - they have never been polished, and the original factory applied satin finish to the back is in gorgeous condition.
Its untouched original dial shows only light aging.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled its high grade LeCoultre caliber 438/CW movement down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. It is near pristine and running strongly.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new Teju lizard strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Don't miss the chance to own a prime original example of a watch that unites the worlds of art and horology as both a noteworthy 1950's design and a high-grade timepiece.
