Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classique 18k White Gold 250.3.86
Our love for the JLC Reverso here at WV HQ is no secret, and in our opinion they're the some of the most important wristwatches ever produced. While most are familiar with the modern offerings, and perhaps even the magnificent six complicated pieces of the 90's, there's some real hidden gems in their neo-vintage catalogue and this is certainly one of them.The Classique reference from the late 90's and early 2000's comes in a dazzling array of dial specs and metals, but this particular 250.3.86 is seldom seen, and part of a very interesting era of JLC's history after the revival of the Reverso line.
The 3-body case is crafted in 18k white gold, and measures in at 23.5mm across, with a lug-to-lug of 39mm and just 7.4mm thin, with a 17mm spacing between the lugs. Within it lies a gloss black dial with the most amazing oversized art deco numerals, and topped with lumed sword hands.
Powering it is a buttery smooth 846 manual wind movement with spectacular winding feel.
This particular example is mounted to an aftermarket strap in a short size, and includes the rare and very expensive 18k white gold JLC deployant.
This particular piece was first sold in 1998 and presents in very good neo-vintage condition. Case is strong, with scratches and scuffs throughout from regular wear as is typical with Reversos, especially in gold. There's also some small nicks/pin dents present, but nothing large. Caseback reference number and 'Reverso' script are very faded, though serial number is clearly visible. Dial shows no visible damage, and hands show some minor marks. Please see images for full condition details.
Comes with the outer box, inner box (shows deterioration), and warranty papers (expired).
