At 35.5mm in diameter not including the crown and 43mm long, this big beauty fills out the wrist in a way most dress watches from the era don't. And its oversized dial makes it wear even larger.
With a classic silver "Explorer" style 3,6,9 dial, wonderful rose gold case, and superior caliber 12.5 lignes P450/4C movement with early shock resistance, its showcases the quality and gorgeous design one expects from JLC. The 12.5 ebauche served as the basis for JLC's esteemed first triple-date calendar watches and powered examples of the company's rugged W.W.W. military watches.
It is a fully European version and has all original parts down to all hands and the winding crown.
Its large original 18K gold case is in excellent condition with a crisp hallmark on the side. Its dial is bright and clean, previously restored. And its high-grade handwound JLC movement is keeping very accurate time.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. We have also installed a new mineral glass crystal just like the original so the indices aren't partially covered.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new Teju lizard strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
