JAEGER-LECOULTRE

Pre-owned Vintage Gold Watch In Black

1949 Jaeger-Lecoultre Vintage Mens Midsize Watch, Beautiful Case - 14K Gold Very Fine Mens Watch - Handsome & Elegant Long ago Jaeger-LeCoultre built their reputation as masters of watch design. This commitment to stylistic excellence produced a number of exquisitely sculpted watches (like the Reverso), and the company's tradition for beautiful design continued to show-up in certain models of their later American market watches like this knot lug watch, one of our favorite vintage LeCoultre dress watch designs. The knot lug LeCoultre showcased in today's offering exhibits the style and precision one expects from the 'Grande Maison'. It has all of its original parts and presents beautifully. Its sculpted solid 14K gold case presents as mint with only light signs of previous polishing. Its dial shows fairly light signs of aging. If you would like it expertly restored, please inquire. One of our Master Watchmakers spent much effort breathing life again into the mechanical parts of the watch, so that it now runs very well (restoration value $995). We have also timed it on a machine that spins the watch in all directions simulating it being worn on the wrist. For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
