- The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, first introduced in 1931, remains one of the most iconic watch designs of all time. Its legendary reversible case was originally conceived at the request of polo players, who needed a durable timepiece that could withstand the rigors of their sport. The ingenious solution was a metal frame housing the watch, which could be flipped to protect the crystal during play.
- This simple yet brilliant innovation spawned countless Reverso iterations over the decades, later models featuring a second dial on the reverse side to further exploit the watch's unique flipping mechanism.
- Released in 2000 as a limited edition of 500 pieces cased in the elegance of 18K pink gold, the present Reverso Quantième Perpétuel is numbered 33 of the edition. Featuring a complex dual-dial perpetual calendar design, the timepiece incorporates technical and artisanal guilloché finesse into one. Playing on a symmetrical design, the main dial features Arabic numerals, a day and night indication, and a leap year indication with a dash of red right below the small seconds.
- Reversed with a slide of the dial reveals a secondary display featuring a retrograde date arching over the moon phases aperture. Balancing on each end, the wear can read the French month and day of the week with ease.
- Preserved in stunning condition cherished by the original owner, the timepiece have had barely any wrist time, complete with its certificate and accessories, it is pure joy for its next owner. Please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to various charities.
