1948 Jaeger-LeCoultre Vintage Mens Midsize Watch, Beautiful Case - 14K Gold

Jaeger-LeCoultre

Item No. 6172

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'. Its sculpted solid 14K gold case is presents in just short of mint condition. Its dial is a vintage restoration.

Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oild its high-grade handwound movement, which is clean and running true.

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

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.
