Jaeger-LeCoultre

For sale is a Swiss Made Jaeger-LeCoultre Ultra Thin men's watch with reference number 1947, which can be dated back to the 1960's. The watch features a very minimalist design, with a silver sunburst dial, crosshair lines and non-numeral indexes except for the contemporary gold accents at the 6 and 12 position. Gold baton-style hands indicate the hours and minutes, and the absence of a seconds hand keeps the watch face clean and easy to read. The case is made of 18k yellow gold, with hallmarks present both on the case and case back. Inside the watch we find a renowned Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 818c manual winding movement, which was used by other famous brands such as Chopard and Vacheron Constantin in addition to Jaeger-LeCoultre themselves. The use of this very thin movement allows the case to be just 7.6mm thick, making it a gorgeous low-profile dress watch.

The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, but is still in good condition considering its age. You will find some marks on the case when closely examining the watch. The case is unpolished and therefore in original shape. The glass has been replaced with a brand new one. The dial has suffered from some battle scars, the most noticeable one being a 1-shaped scratch at the 9O'Clock position. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch has been serviced prior to sale and is working perfectly. It comes with a brand new black leather strap, ready to wear.

The watch comes without any paperwork or original box, but evidently we will provide a generic box to ship it to the buyer safe and sound. The item ships from Belgium and will be securely packaged and dispatched using the local postal service (BPost).
