Description

REMARKS: SOLD, PLEASE INQUIRE FOR FUTURE ORDER.

Rare and exotic Jaeger-LeCoultre Vintage ‘Duoplan’ Ladies Wristwatch from the 1930-1940s in 18K Solid Gold.  The JLC Duoplan watches were legendary in their design and construction and achieved its world-renkowned reputation by its smallest model the Jaeger-LeCoultre cal.101.  Due to its unique double planes of construction, this allowed for tiny movements to be robust and accurate at the same time.  Balance and escapement were isolated on the top plane whereas rest of the train wheels and barrel are on the bottom plane and this allowed for a much larger balance to be placed inside a tiny mechanical movement.  This particular specimen is a high exotic model made to be a cocktail watch to have two halves of sea-shells flanking the dial in the middle.  As with all other Jaeger-LeCoultre Duoplan watches, this vintage ladies watch is extra small in a wonderful way at 24mm wide and 17mm tall.  Inside the watch it has a Jaeger-LeCoultre Duoplan Cal.403 that measures 20×8.7×4.5mm.
