Product Detail

It is little known that Jaeger-LeCoultre, in addition to producing movements for its own watches, has also produced movements for a number of famous watch houses, such as Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, and IWC. In the early part of the 20th Century, Jaeger-LeCoultre even supplied bare movements to the great firm of Patek Philippe. Then as now, Jaeger-LeCoultre was considered one of the finest watchmakers in Switzerland

I am a watch collector as well as a buyer and seller of new, pre-owned, antique, and vintage watches

I only sell genuine, authentic, watches in "Good" to "Pristine" condition

Vintage watch outlet is not a marketplace, we own every watch that we sell

As each year goes by and the world market for vintage gold Jaeger-LeCoultre watches grows, limited supply and high demand from around the world will mean prices will inevitably climb ever higher

A wonderful opportunity to purchase this near pristine example 9k Solid Yellow Gold Jaeger-LeCoultre dress watch from 1974. The watch is in superb original condition, and the movement is looking spectacular, having been fully serviced by a master watchmaker

Winding Mechanism: The watch carries its all original, recently serviced, very high quality Jaeger-LeCoultre Cal.818/C 17 jewel  manual wind movement which, as can be seen, is in spectacular condition. Jaeger-LeCoultre movements are among the very best and quite rightly held in very high regard among both collectors and watchmakers. It has just been serviced and it is in beautiful condition. It is also running strongly and keeping accurate time within +5 seconds per day which is well within expected parameters. The watch has a runtime of over 40 hours from its fully wound state which shows the movement is particularly strong running and again, well within expected parameters

Bezel: Because the bezel does not cover much of the dial, and the dial is uncluttered with script, the watch plays larger on the wrist than 33mm

Overall Condition: near pristine condition ~ signed clean beige dial ~ signed, recently serviced, manual wind movement runs strong and accurate ~ crown winds and sets smoothly ~ clean acrylic crystal ~ no damage ~ all of our watches have been tested and serviced if needed ~ stunning 

This is a vintage used watch. It has lived a life before you, so you should not expect it to be new and flawless. If you want a flawless new watch, please do not buy this.  If you want a piece of history in the form of a nice vintage piece, or possibly a dated inscription on the case back, then this may be right for you. Because most vintage watches being offered are between 30-70 years old, small imperfections, scratches, and wear are to be expected

Buying a pre-owned watch is like buying a pre-owned car....it is all about condition, condition, condition!

Water resistance is not guaranteed on vintage or pre-owned watches unless otherwise stated in the listing

Please note that all pictures are taken on the macro setting. This makes even the slightest imperfections, shadows during photography, and specks of dust appear much more prominent even though they are often not visible without magnification

A careful shopper who takes the time to study the photos, reads the entire description, and asks pertinent questions is our best customer
