Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1950s.
It has a solid 9ct gold case and brick link design integral bracelet which is very fluid and simply glides around the wrist.
The most unusual aspect of this watch is that it is has a backwind instead of a crown, this is an extremely rare attribute and was specifically designed to enhance the overall look of the watch and also to stop the crown from catching in delicate items of clothing.
This watch has been fully restored, the dial, hands and bracelet are in perfect like new condition, a new glass fitted and it has been professionally cleaned and polished so it is in pristine condition. It looks as though it has been used only for special occasions.
As you would expect from Jaeger-LeCoultre the watch is fully marked on the dial and the bracelet and case is fully marked as 9ct.
It comes complete with a new presentation box to keep your watch in perfect condition.
Jaeger-LeCoultre are one of the most exclusive makers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance which resonates class.
It fits a maximum wrist size of 6" but this can easily be reduced to fit a smaller wrist. The case measures 16mm in diameter.
Overall this watch is in beautiful mint condition and looks as if it has rarely been worn, it would certainly make a perfect gift.
