Catalogue Note

The Reverso Grande Complication à Triptyque overturns existing conventions, highlighting Jaeger-LeCoultre’s passion for unique creations. Created to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the iconic Reverso collection in 2006, Jaeger-LeCoultre Triptyque comprises 18 complications. It is also the world’s first triple-dialled wristwatch and it took the brand more than four years to develop this horological masterpiece, including the calibre 175 movement consisting of 642 individual parts, 79 jewels and 2 winding barrels to give it a power reserve of 48 hours.

The time dial showcases the time, power reserve, 24 hours indication and most importantly, the tourbillon regulator, allowing the owner to marvel at it in motion. The reverse dial displays the astrological chart of the Northern Hemisphere, zodiac calendar, equation of time and sunrise and sunset times. The inner case reveals a perpetual calendar, moon phases and leap year indication.

Numbered 1 of a limited edition of 75 pieces only, the present timepiece demonstrates the prowess of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s craftsmen.

The watch is offered in excellent overall condition.
