Now that's a fine way to start the day!
I hope you're right about the reasonable current market for the watch. It's not in my stable yet, and that's a glaring absence...
Everything about the watch from the size to the coloration to the finishing standard (among the best) to the studied asymmetry of the dial is compelling. It's also one of the few truly worthwhile non-complicated display caseback Reversos. That 18k movement may have been one of the first modern JLCs to exhibit the company's highest modern standard of finish - long before the Grande Traditions.
Enjoy.

A small tour with the Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Septantième Platinum.
The kind of Watch you can wear in every environment, formal or dressy. A nice companion for a cool week end, which I brought with me in Netherland and Belgium. In Boxtel, during our small GTG: Not bad, in a classic car, either! And during the appetizer, a...
This Septantieme always has escaped me, and honestly said.. Was also a bit above my head !
Nevertheless, she's one of my fav Reversos, together with the YG Geographique, and the YG Sun & Moon ( see your prev post with lovely pics ) ;) - Most of the anniversary editions were superb, but the 70 ieme stands out for me. A great & fine watch for all...
You can find it at a quite reasonable and human price, my friend.
But it is true that the retail, at the time of its launch was one of the biggest issue of this Watch. I can tell you that I saw, some weeks ago, the retail of a new old stock 70eme, I fell from my feet. Best, Nicolas

Well, the Rose Gold LE Reversos from the 90ies also came with a gold decorated movement.
But it was in 14 K. A piece wich didn't have this time of glory when released. But which is more and mpre appreciated, with Time. A Real Watch, as would claim JLC in some of their advertisings... ;) Best, Tim. Nicolas

If there was one watch from JLC that I would want, this would be it, and I'd be really happy with it.
I " ran " quite a long time before getting mine.
And as the pleasure is in the wait and in the difficulty, you can imagine how happy I was... Yes, a pleasure Watch! Best, Richard, and wish you can find oyurs, one day. Nicolas
I forgot you still ... have this beauty!
I remember my AD showing it to me some time ago and it looked great in the metal, especially it being in platinum. Why I didn't pull the trigger, I don't recall. Perhaps funding was a problem or the deployant was in WG that made me hesitate? Anyway, it's ...
No, it is a simple folding buckle, in platinum.
That is when the folding is double that it is in white gold, when the case is platinum. Best, my friend. Nicolas
