Jaeger-LeCoultre Etrier “Jumbo” Ref. 9041.42 – Grey Two-Tone Roman Dial, 1970s – Rare & Exceptionally Preserved
We are delighted to present this highly rare and beautifully preserved Jaeger-LeCoultre Etrier “Jumbo”, Ref. 9041.42, dating from the 1970s—an outstanding example of one of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s most distinctive designs, offered today in mint, all-original condition.
This watch comes with remarkable provenance, having spent more than 50 years carefully stored in a drawer by the family of the original owners. As a result, it has survived in exceptional condition, showing minimal signs of wear and retaining an honest, untouched character that is seldom encountered on vintage pieces of this era.
Heritage & Design
The Etrier is among Jaeger-LeCoultre’s most iconic and avant-garde creations of the 1970s, named after its stirrup-inspired case shape. This Jumbo version—rare and highly sought after—offers strong wrist presence with refined proportions, measuring 43 × 28 mm including the case lugs.
The original grey two-tone dial is both elegant and striking, featuring applied Roman numerals that bring a classical counterpoint to the bold case architecture. The discreet Jaeger-LeCoultre–signed crown at 6 o’clock enhances the symmetry of the design and reflects the Maison’s thoughtful approach to aesthetics and ergonomics.
