Jaeger Lecoultre Master Control Date in... Platinum!

 
 By: amanico : February 25th, 2020-13:45
I recently, a few years ago, discovered that the Master Control Date existed in platinum, with white applied indices and hands. Credit picture: Auctionata. I didn't know there was a small limited edition ( 25 pieces ) made circa 2005 with this dial, with ...  

Both beautiful dials

I just realized they removed "automatique" from the current version: ...  

True

But since the steel is available, no loss to us value seekers... LOL!

Indeed the case [nt]

Don't get me wrong, JLC are great watches, just think this is a pretty fancy

case for basically a ho-hum, plain Jane watch

That was the case of the first generation, 37 mm.

With the black dial? ;) [nt]

Discreet luxury

As a former owner of both the steel and the yellow gold versions of this model, I think this is brilliant and surprised that I never knew this version existed. I'd like to think of this as a perfect example of discreet luxury, very much in keeping with JL... 

A PT case may be some overkill for this pretty modest watch.

From the movement side this is not a high horology offer from JLC and a steel case serves its purpose best.

.. a perfect description of what it

meant to be an elegant watch.... Love it... /W72

Absolutely!

This platinum with rose gold indexes also existed in full calendar and power reserve versions Can you imagine a manual memovox with this treatment? How cool would that be!

Very nice watch. Wonderful picture. πŸ‘

I definitely like the exclusivity. I don't know the price but I feel its worth it. Tfs. 😊 Cheers 🍻 Geross

Indeed, jml. [nt]

The dial with the silver hands and hour markers seems to be more harmonic, imho.

Nevertheless, a extraordninary piece!

I share your taste. [nt]
