A remarkable example of 1950s jewellery watchmaking, this elegant Jaeger-LeCoultre Cocktail Watch combines exceptional craftsmanship with timeless French design.
The 16 mm solid 18k rosé gold case remains beautifully preserved and appears unpolished, with crisp French eagle head hallmarks visible throughout the case, caseback, bracelet, and buckle.
The highlight is the spectacular sculptural twisted bracelet, creating a striking three-dimensional effect while remaining exceptionally comfortable on the wrist. Measuring almost 17 cm, it is a true work of goldsmithing.
Inside beats the rare Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 496 Backwinder Duoplan, freshly serviced and running excellent. The watch retains its original mineral crystal with only light signs of wear.
A rare and elegant Jaeger-LeCoultre, combining innovative watchmaking with extraordinary French jewellery craftsmanship—both a beautiful timepiece and a wearable work of art.
