1950s 18ct Gold Jaeger-LeCoultre Vintage Wristwatch

Case size 29mm
Strap size 15mm
Ref 1420

A fine 1950s Jaeger-LeCoultre wristwatch, housed in a beautifully proportioned 18ct yellow gold case measuring 29mm in diameter, excluding the crown. The classic round case is complemented by elegant tapered lugs and a beautifully preserved silvered dial, giving the watch a refined and understated mid-century appearance. The case is stamped 0.750, confirming 18ct gold, and retains its original Jaeger-LeCoultre character.

The watch is powered by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Calibre P.489, a high-quality 17-jewel manual-winding movement. The movement is fully signed Jaeger-LeCoultre and displays the fine finishing and robust construction associated with the manufacture's movements of this period. Calibre P.489 was produced during the 1950s and is part of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s respected family of manual-winding movements, offering reliable and straightforward timekeeping.

The silvered dial has a particularly attractive minimalist design, with applied gilt baton markers and Roman numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. The matching gilt hands and Jaeger-LeCoultre signature complete the elegant appearance. The clean dial layout and slim proportions make this an exceptionally wearable example of a classic mid-century dress watch.

This example is fitted with its original Jaeger-LeCoultre leather strap and Jaeger-LeCoultre signed gold-tone buckle. Measuring 38mm from lug-to-lug and with a 15mm strap width, the compact proportions give the watch a comfortable and elegant presence on the wrist. The watch is also accompanied by its Jaeger-LeCoultre presentation box, adding to its appeal as a complete vintage set.

This watch has been professionally cleaned and inspected, ensuring correct operation and reliable performance. It is supplied with a 12-month mechanical warranty and the original Jaeger-LeCoultre presentation box.
