Description:
Few watches embody timeless elegance and Art Deco sophistication like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. Originally created in 1931 for British polo players who needed to protect the fragile crystal of their timepieces, the Reverso’s ingenious reversible case design has since become an icon of both practicality and style. Over the decades, the model has evolved through countless variations while retaining its unique spirit and architectural lines.
This particular example is a beautiful Reverso Classique, reference 250.2.86, crafted in warm 18k pink gold. Its classic rectangular case houses a hand-wound Jaeger-LeCoultre movement that exemplifies the brand’s tradition of fine watchmaking. The watch features a striking black dial, a rarer and more modern twist that contrasts elegantly with the rose gold case.
Sold in 1990, this watch comes complete with its original Jaeger-LeCoultre clasp, ensuring the overall coherence and authenticity of the piece. It is also accompanied by its box and a warranty from the renowned Monetti boutique in Naples, a well-known retailer of fine timepieces.
Whether you are a collector drawn to the Reverso’s storied history or simply appreciate a discreet but unmistakable statement of style, this manual-wind Reverso Classique in pink gold, preserved in excellent overall condition, makes for an outstanding addition to any collection.
