Jaeger-Lecoultre White gold watch

1957 Jaeger-LeCoultre / Vacheron & Constantin Vintage Galaxy Mystery Dial – 14K White Gold & Diamonds Very Fine & Captivating Mysterieuse – All Original When it comes to aesthetics, for some collectors topping the chart of the Jaeger-LeCoultre’s special vintage wristwatches is the exquisite LeCoultre/Vacheron & Constantin Galaxy Mystery Dial. Named after the way the hour marker mysteriously floats around the dial, seemingly unattached to the rest of the watch yet keeping perfect time, these exceptional wristwatches captivate the imagination. Adding to its collector rarity, the Galaxy is the only watch in the world signed outwardly by both LeCoultre and Vacheron & Constantin (Vacheron & Constantin and Jeager-LeCoultre shared the same distributorship in the U.S.). This Galaxy is in all-original condition. Its case presents nicely. It has a few light indentions in the back and shows only light signs of previously having been polished. On the wrist, its case presents as mint. Its dial is original and untouched. Please inquire if you would like it expertly restored. One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. Its movement is quite pristine. For the finishing touch, we have installed a brand new Teju lizard strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
