Catalogue Note:
The Reverso Platinum Number One, reference 270.6.49, represents a particularly refined interpretation of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s celebrated Art Deco design. Executed in platinum and distinguished by its beautifully skeletonized and engraved manual-winding movement, the openworked construction places the intricate architecture and finishing of the calibre at the heart of the watch’s aesthetic. Produced as a limited edition of only 500 examples, the present watch is particularly noteworthy for bearing the early individual number 18/500, placing it amongst the first examples of the series. Combining the unmistakable proportions of the Reverso with the exclusivity of platinum and the artistry of fine skeletonization, the Platinum Number One remains one of the most distinctive interpretations of this iconic model. Further enhancing its appeal, the present example is accompanied by its complete set of original accessories.
