This amazing find is a 1 owner watch in excellent original condition, with all original accessories still there, even the extra parts for the bracelet! The watch was purchased by the first owner at the Jaeger-LeCoultre Dealer in The Hague, The Netherlands in 1982. This Jeweler (Steltman) coincidentally is the house jeweler of the Dutch royal family. This watch is very rare. In fact I have only been able to find one other mentioned on the entire internet!

Condition: the watch has some light signs of being worn on the back of the case and on the bracelet. So excellent condition for its age! Since I know some collectors prefer original condition I haven't touched it. But if you prefer you can have the bracelet refinished so it will look like new. Please note I the watch is functional and the movement is in excellent condition, but I do recommend to have the movement serviced.

The diamonds in the bezel are of a very good quality and color. According to the original catalogue the diamonds used would be F in color and total approx. 1.36 carats. Based on my measurements I would say they are vvs2/vs1, color F and approx. 1.6 carats. They are of course natural diamonds.

If you have any further questions please let me know, I'm happy to assist. Regarding delivery: I will only ship by courier (DHL) with insurance for the full sale price. This is included in the price for EU countries. Local pick-up is also possible. If you have any special requests I am always happy to see if I can accommodate them. Just let me know.
