Partially verified

This Jaeger-LeCoultre wristwatch features a manual-wind Caliber P484/A movement and is housed in an 18K rose gold case measuring 35mm in diameter.

Object description

Case and Dial Design

The watch is housed in a 35mm 18K rose gold case, which exhibits a polished finish and a snap-on case back. Access to the triple calendar settings is provided via two push-buttons integrated into the case band at the 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions.

The silvered dial presents a complex layout centered on the triple calendar display. Day and month windows are situated directly beneath the 12 o'clock marker. A central hand with an arrow tip indicates the date against red numerals printed on the outer perimeter. Hours are denoted by applied rose gilt pyramid markers, with Arabic numerals used for the quarter hours. The time is read via gilt dagger-style hands, with a dedicated subsidiary register for seconds placed at the 6 o'clock position.

Movement and Signatures

The timepiece is driven by the Caliber P484/A, a manual-wind movement featuring jewelled components. The design of the watch integrates multiple complications including the date, day, and month display alongside the subsidiary seconds.

According to the documentation provided, the signature of the maker is present across the primary elements of the object, specifically on the case, dial, and movement. These marks serve to identify the piece within the context of the manufacturer's production from approximately 1945.

  • “The case, dial, and movement are all signed.”

Associated Components

The watch is currently presented on a blue leather strap that is identified as an associated piece, indicating that it is not original to the watch. The strap is secured with a steel buckle, completing the wearable configuration of the instrument.

The listing details note that the physical description and characteristics are specific to this one example. While the watch is attributed to circa 1945, this date is an approximation used for the cataloguing of this specific item.

Evidence for this section

  • “dating from approximately 1945”

Open research questions

  • What is the specific production range for Caliber P484/A within the Jaeger-LeCoultre archive?
  • Does the case back carry internal serial numbers that could further refine the dating of this specific watch?
