Jaeger Lecoultre and QP Salon: An interesting rectangular perpetual calendar from 1938.

Yes, Circa 1938...
How many Perpetual Calendars were issued, at that time, with an in house ( Cal 410 QP: The Reverso Calibre + a Perpetual Calendar. ) movement, in a wrist watch?
Of course, this is not the first perpetual calendar from Lecoultre, since we know at least one, a famous one, the Grande Complication from 1928. We also know that at the end of the XIXth century, Lecoultre made some, but these perpetual calendars came in pocket watches.
We heard about the existence of this watch, we knew that circa 1937 / 1938, it was made.
But we never saw it.
It is time to unveil it, thanks to QP Salon.
And the certificate from the Manufacture.
There is a detail which can be noticed. This is one of the rare Jaeger Lecoultre watches to not have the JLC signature on the dial.
Happy to spread the news!
Best,
Nicolas
