The story of this Jaeger-LeCoultre vintage in yellow gold
This Jaeger-LeCoultre is a very rare watch from the 1940s, a pivotal period in Swiss watchmaking during which the Manufacture in Le Sentier produced elegant, fully mechanical timepieces. Crafted in yellow gold, this watch perfectly illustrates the classic and refined style of the post-war era, with balanced proportions and a design built to last. Today, this type of piece is particularly sought after by collectors for its rarity and authenticity.
Case, movement and bracelet
This watch features a 36 mm yellow gold case, a generous size for its time, offering a beautiful presence on the wrist. It’s powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 450/4 cbr, a manual-winding mechanical movement typical of the manufacture’s productions in the 1940s. The plexiglass crystal respects the original configuration and enhances the vintage charm of the ensemble. The yellow dial harmonizes perfectly with the case, while the watch is fitted with a green calfskin leather strap with green stitching, adding an elegant and distinctive touch.
