When it comes to aesthetics, for some collectors topping the chart of Jaeger-LeCoultre's special vintage wristwatches is the exquisite LeCoultre/Vacheron & Constantin Galaxy Mystery Dial. Named after the way the hour marker mysteriously floats around the dial, seemingly unattached to the rest of the watch yet keeping perfect time, these exceptional wristwatches captivate the imagination.

Adding to its collector rarity, the Galaxy is the only watch in the world signed outwardly by both LeCoultre and Vacheron & Constantin (Vacheron & Constantin and Jeager-LeCoultre shared the same distributorship in the U.S.).

We are pleased to offer this Galaxy in beautiful restored condition.

On the wrist the case presents in mint condition. The back has a few light indentions, and it shows only light signs of previously having been polished.

Its dial was previously expertly restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America. Its acrylic floating disks show none of the cracking and spiderwebbing that are common with these. Its movement is very clean.

Four of our Master Watchmakers and a Master Dial Specialist worked for the last four years restoring this special watch to breathe new life into it which even included custom fabricating parts to the original factory functional quality and factory quality decorated finish (restoration value $1295).

It is now running as strong and as true as a brand new watch, keeping time better than brand new Rolexes and the finest quality watches we have owned.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
