Jaeger Lecoultre Master Control Date in... Platinum!
I recently, a few years ago, discovered that the Master Control Date existed in platinum, with white applied indices and hands.

I didn't know there was a small limited edition ( 25 pieces ) made circa 2005 with this dial, with a platinum case, as well. Credit picture: Christies.

What do you think of a platinum series for the Master Control Date? Good or bad?

Both beautiful dials
I just realized they removed "automatique" from the current version: ...
I like platinum, but I think this platinum JLC would lose one of its most attractive features: amazing value (in steel).
Still a very nice platinum watch qua watch.
Don't get me wrong, JLC are great watches, just think this is a pretty fancy

The dial with the silver hands and hour markers seems to be more harmonic, imho.
Nevertheless, a extraordninary piece!
