Description: Selling part of my collection, an Original vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre wristwatch, circa 1960. Solid 9ct yellow gold case with a screw-down case back. The silvered eggshell dial has applied, slim gold baton indexes and matching gold hands. The dial is in lovely condition, showing no damage or chips, and a pleasure to look at. Automatically wound, this watch is powered by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s excellent calibre K880 which has decoratively finished, damascened plates. Calibre 880 was first introduced by LeCoultre in 1959. The gold case was made for Jaeger-LeCoultre by the London based case makers, De Trevars Ltd., whose sponsor’s mark of DTE is stamped to the inside case back. De Trevars supplied Jaeger-LeCoultre with a range of high quality wristwatch cases, including gold cases for some of the watchmaker’s famous Geophysic models which were launched a couple of years before the production of the present wristwatch.
