Jaeger Lecoultre Triple Date Moonphase 150th Anniversary.
Jan 12, 2015,02:11 AM
For the 150th Anniversary of the brand, Jaeger Lecoultre decided to release one of the most elegant Watch from their past, the Triple Date moonphase. A Watch which was born in the 40ies, and which has been resurrected in... 1983, along with a few others, like a re edition of the Jacques Lecoultre 1949 Triple Date Moonphase with a slightly different case, though, and an Atmos.
Here the rectangular version ( Credit picture: Liveauctioneers ), limited to 600 pièces.
The Atmos 150th ( Credit picture: Antiquorum ), limited to 3000 pièces.
You will find the superb godron case, the not less elegant teardrop lugs, the beautiful dial, an example of balance.
I could take two pictures of this Watch which belongs to the Heritage Gallery collection.
I was told that those which were issued for the Anniversary had their case back engraved, bearing the mention of this event. This one doesn't have its case back engraved, as I could notice by myself. It houses the Cal 494 ( Vintage movement ).
36 mm of pure beauty, don't you think?
Best,
Nicolas
