Catalogue Note
In memory for King Rama IX of Thailand, who was the ninth monarchy of Changkri dynasty in Thailand, Jaeger-LeCoultre has decided to introduce the present watch with a limited number of only 39 pieces. The number 39 has a symbolic meaning as “3” represents three colours of the flag of Thailand and “9” represents the ninth king. Furthermore, the watch is enhanced with an intense yellow dial and an engraved case back of “Wat Arun”, a temple in Thailand. Both these enhancements symbolizes “dawn”, and pays tribute to King Rama IX in 2016. Offered in like new condition, the present watch is numbered 1 of 39 pieces only.
