Rare and beautiful all original LeCoultre 2-tone rose gold and stainless steel dress watch with original bracelet and high quality caliber 9RO/428 movement within. This beautifully preserved 1940's timepiece has the style of a Vacheron & Constantin, the quality of a Jaeger-LeCoultre movement and the look of an Art Deco era masterpiece all rolled into one. The dial has a very slight patina giving it that unmistakable vintage feel while the fancy flared-lug case and 2-tone bracelet are near perfect with very little wear and a bright polished look. A VERY classy 1940's dress watch in truly remarkable all original condition from the famed house of Jaeger-LeCoultre.
