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 wonderful all-original Mysterieuse.

Its shapely white and elegant presents in excellent condition. Its sharp lines have never been polished.

Its avant garde dial is original and untouched with only fairly mild honest aging and toning. These are becoming harder to find with non-refinished dials. Please inquire if you would like it restored.

One of our watchmakers has disassembled its very fine handwound down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. We have Its movement is very clean. Photos of the inside available upon request.

We have also installed a new mineral glass crystal to give a clear view of the dial to its very edge.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new Teju skin 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.
