Jaeger Lecoultre Master 8 Days Perpetual Calendar Skeleton Rose Gold 1833 Edition.

Two old pictures I found in my hard disc, of a watch which is a pure beauty.

This rose gold version was made to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the brand, in a limited edition of... 175 pieces. 






The advantage of the rose gold over the platinum version lies in the legibility. 

Here a picture of my beloved ex one:

Probably one of JLC's most ambitious modern finishing projects

A modular complication isn't a natural candidate for a full-skeleton treatment, and a complete perpetual calendar isn't a natural match for an open dial... yet it works. The sapphire display discs with solid highlights are the key to the success of this w...
