1944 Jaeger-LeCoultre Vintage Mens Midsize Watch, Beautiful Case - 14K Gold

Jaeger-LeCoultre

Item No. 5505SH(5160SH)

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 early example of a knot lug LeCoultre showcased in today's offering exhibits the style and precision one expects from the 'Grande Maison'. It is in very pleasing condition. The sculpted solid 14K gold case is better than near mint. The dial has been restored by one of the leading restoration experts in North America. And the movement is very clean.

Our watchmaker has freshly serviced it, and for the finishing touch we have installed a calfskin strap.

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