When it comes to aesthetics, for some collectors topping the chart of the 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.).

Today's offering showcases this beautiful Mysterieuse.

It has all of its original parts. Its original dial has just been meticulously restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America and includes the copyright symbol so often missing.

Its case back is signed both LeCoultre and Vacheron & Constantin. Its back has spots of wear from the buckle contacting it and light indentions. On the wrist it presents very nicely.

Its very fine handwound JLC movement is near pristine. Please inquire if you would like photos of the inside.

One of our Master Watchmakers has freshly disassembled it down to the last screw and cleaned and oiled the movement. It is running very strong and true, keeping time on par with a new JLC in our testing recording position.

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.
