Jaeger-LeCoultre 18K Gold 36 mm – Ref. 143809

This Jaeger-LeCoultre Reference 143809 is a superb collectible watch dating from the late 1950s. It perfectly illustrates the savoir-faire of the Le Sentier manufacture.

This dedication reveals that the watch was presented to Mr. Julien Tardieu, then president of the association Les Aveyronnais de Paris, on the occasion of a tribute paid to him in December 1960.

Far more than a simple engraving, this inscription gives this Jaeger-LeCoultre a genuine heritage dimension. It bears witness to an era when a fine timepiece was one of the most prestigious gifts that could be given in recognition of exceptional commitment.

This personalization, made when the watch was presented, is today a precious historical testimony that has accompanied the piece for more than sixty years.

Its elegant 18k yellow gold case, paired with a 36 mm diameter, gives it a refined and perfectly balanced presence on the wrist. This size, much sought after today, appeals to collectors and lovers of timeless dress watches alike.

An in-house movement

This watch is fitted with the Jaeger-LeCoultre P813 automatic caliber, a movement developed entirely in-house by the manufacture.

Renowned for its robustness, precision and build quality, the P813 caliber is representative of the mechanical excellence that made Jaeger-LeCoultre famous. Its automatic winding makes it comfortable for everyday use while offering the reliability expected of a prestige watch.

Timeless elegance

The sober, harmonious dial showcases applied indices and slender hands that perfectly reflect the aesthetic of the great classic watches of the 1950s.
