Jaeger-LeCoultre has long been renowned for creating some of the most complex and finely crafted timepieces in the industry, earning a prestigious reputation as the "watchmaker's watchmaker." With a commitment to blending artistry and precision, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to set the standard for horological excellence.

The present lot exemplifies the brand's dedication to luxury and sophistication. This exquisite reversible bracelet watch is fashioned in white gold and adorned with dazzling diamonds, vibrant emeralds, rubies and sapphires. What brings the present watch to another level is its calibre. JLC's Calibre 101 is a remarkable testament to the brand's pioneering spirit and watchmaking expertise. Introduced in 1929, this ultra-thin movement measures just 1.98 mm in height, making it one of the smallest mechanical movements ever created. Celebrated for its intricate craftsmanship, the Calibre 101 is not only known for its precision and reliability but also for the elegance it brings to women's watches.
