Description

Gentleman's Jaeger LeCoultre 'Futurematic' in solid 9K yellow gold case with white dial and dark brown Hirsch Crocodile strap. Lovely example of a classic, almost groundbreaking watch - quite rare in solid gold as most were gold-filled/plated.

Case

9K yellow gold case in excellent, very well looked after condition with attractive lugs - this is a large size version when compared with similar watches of the same era. The rather futuristic design of the watch removed the winding crown from its traditional position at 3 o'clock and placed it on the rear of the case for a 'cleaner' look.

Case dimensions are 36mm in diameter (not including crown), 12mm thick and 42mm lug to lug.

Dial & Crystal

Beautifully re-finished white dial with mixture of applied numbers and 'baton' hour markers. Dial has sub-seconds dial at 3 o'clock with 'up/down' power reserve dial at 9 o'clock (aka Reserve de Marche). Dial is signed 'Jaeger LeCoultre Futurematic' with 'Swiss' at 6 o'clock.

Acrylic crystal is perfect with no marks or scratches.

Bracelet/Strap

We have fitted a HIRSCH 'Artisanal' crocodile strap finished in dark brown with gold-filled buckle (RRP: £109).

We are also Hirsch stockists and can change the strap to any from their 'Classic' machine made range, or 'artisanal' range of superb hand-made straps if you desire (subject to cost). Please contact us for further details.

Movement

Automatic winding 'bumper' movement in very fine condition - has just been fully serviced and keeping superb time. 12 months warranty.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories

As with the majority of pre-owned watches 5-10 yrs or older, this particular watch does not come with its original boxes or warranty certificate. It does however come with the dark green/beige presentation box shown in the final image. The watch is 100% genuine and rest assured, we give a lifetime guarantee on the authenticity of all the watches we sell.
