With over 180 years of history, Jaeger-LeCoultre has managed to make its name a synonym of the highest quality complications with minute repeating functions.

The present lot is a fine and rare platinum wristwatch that demonstrates the complexity and elegance that the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand represents. With a case diameter of 43mm, this watch features a back plate with a skeleton window that houses the calibre 947,  the only manually wound movement that has a 15-day power reserve, thanks to two barrels mounted in series. Another exotic element is the spring torque indicator complication that guarantees optimal accuracy as long as the hand remains in the indicator's safety zone. 

Limited to only 200 pieces, this watch is a true collector's item for Jaeger-LeCoultre's most loyal aficionados.
