Among the most interesting of these is the uncommon asymmetrical, ref. 2406. Today's offering showcases a beautiful early example of the rarest version of these watches - one with Jaeger-LeCoultre factory diamond dial.
We were fortunate to acquire this fine gentleman's watch in such pleasing condition. It is fully JLC / LeCoultre down to the hands and signed crown.
The case is better than excellent. The edges and the factory Florentine texturing is crisp - it has never been polished. The original dial shows only light aging.
One of our watchmakers has cleaned and oiled the high grade LeCoultre handwound movement.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new Teju lizard strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function and a new Connoisseur of Time timing certificate attesting to its performance.
Don't miss the chance to own a watch that unites the worlds of art and horology as both a noteworthy 1950's design and a high-grade timepiece.
