Jaeger-LeCoultre

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater reference Q5012550 is one of the manufacture’s most technically ambitious modern grand complications. Crafted in 18k rose gold with a fully skeletonized dial, the watch is powered by the manually wound Caliber 947, combining a minute repeater with an exceptional fifteen-day power reserve. The large 44mm case provides an expansive view of the openworked movement, showcasing the extensive hand-finishing that define the piece.

Produced during Jaeger-LeCoultre’s celebrated 'Hybris Mechanica' era, the Q5012550 reflects the brand’s focus on acoustic innovation and mechanical sophistication. The minute repeater, one of traditional watchmaking’s most prestigious complications, is paired with cathedral gongs engineered for exceptional clarity and resonance. Produced in limited edition of 100 pieces only, the reference remains rarely seen on the market.

Among collectors, the Q5012550 is increasingly viewed as a hidden gem within modern complicated watchmaking. While comparable minute repeaters from Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet often command significantly higher prices, the Jaeger-LeCoultre offers a similarly impressive level of complexity and finishing at a comparatively accessible valuation. As interest in modern manufacture grand complications continues to grow, the Grande Tradition Minute Repeater reference Q5012550 stands as a strong example of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s ability to combine innovation with traditional haute horlogerie craftsmanship.
