Albatros - Vintage Mens Gold & Steel Quartz Watch
€2,845.00

For sale is a fairly rare Swiss Made Jaeger-LeCoultre "Albatros" men's dress watch with reference number 160.022.5 or 3160.022.5, presumably dating back to the mid 1980s. It features a slender stainless steel hexagonal case measuring 34mm in diameter and just 6.5mm in thickness, with a solid 18k yellow gold bezel. Behind the sapphire crystal sits a silver dial with gorgeous linen texture and gold tone accents, on which gold tone and black lacquered hands indicate the time. A date window can be found at the 3 O'clock position, which can be quick-set using the crown. Said crown is original and bears the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo.

The watch is powered by a high-quality Swiss Made Quartz movement: the Jaeger-LeCoultre 625, which is working perfectly. It comes fitted to the original integrated bracelet and signed clasp, crafted from stainless steel with solid 18k yellow gold accents on the first three links. Please be aware that the bracelet currently fits wrists with a maximum circumference of around 18cm. Decreasing the size is easily done by removing some bracelet links. To increase the size past the current maximum, extra links will have to be sourced online or at a dealership.

The example sold here has been worn, but is still in good condition considering its age. You will find wear marks on the case and bracelet, but no overly coarse damage. It was purposefully left unpolished and is therefore in original shape, with sharp lines and edges. The sapphire crystal looks to be free from scratches to the naked eye, and the dial and hands are pristine. 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 was checked, received a new battery and is accurately keeping time down to a very impressive 0,01 seconds per day or 0.30 seconds per month. Sold as watch only: sadly no original box or paperwork are accompanying this piece.

Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance.
