Specialist note

According to the Archives of Jaeger-Lecoultre, the present watch was manufactured in 1997. The etched and blackened hunting motif to the case back is a later addition.

The present wristwatch is preserved in very good overall condition and sold with the full set of accessories.

The Reverso wristwatch, the world's longest-running watch model, was launched in 1931 and designed upon special request by polo players who wished to have a timepiece able to endure their sport. The ingenious system allows a 180-degree rotation of the case, hence protecting the crystal and consequently the dial from damages.

The case back, its second face, provides a background for elaborate engravings such as initials, coats of arms and others, as well as for miniature enamel paintings.
