This commitment to stylistic excellence produced a number of exquisitely sculpted watches (like the Reverso), and the company's tradition for beautiful design continued to show-up in certain models of their later American market watches like this knot lug watch, one of our favorite vintage LeCoultre dress watch designs.
The beautiful knot lug LeCoultre showcased in today's offering exhibits the style and precision one expects from the 'Grande Maison'.
It has just finished a full professional year-long restoration. The sculpted solid 14K gold case is very good condition with fairly light wear. The dial is has been well-restored. And the movement is quite pristine.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it and installed a correct new-old-stock crystal.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new Italian leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
