Provenance
The present example is numbered 328 and it was produced in a limited series of 500 examples only. Different from most of the astronomical watches with moon phases that only move forward once or twice a day by the date wheel (based on a 29.5/day cycle), the Night and Day display of this "Reverso Geographique" allows the user to witness its changes on an hourly basis.
Catalogue Note
Since the 60th anniversary of "Reverso" in 1991, Jaeger-LeCoultre has started to create different limited edition complicated watches designed around the "Reverso" model. Inspired by the company's famous model - "Master Geographique". Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced this rare limited edition pink gold "Reverso Geographique" in 1998.
