Probably late 40s.
Hi,
The model bowed in 1946, so I think that's probably the start point for the potential age of the piece. The design of the tapered lugs looks somewhat more contemporary to me, though, so maybe this one was produced toward the end of the model's production run in the .... 50s?
Best,
Tim
Two fresh pictures of the Jaeger Lecoultre P 476.
To sum the P 476, there is no better way to say that: - It was the first automatic movement for and from JLC. So, this is historically, an important reference. - As many other models, there were a lot of versions of this reference. That being said, I foun...
This P 476 has a lot of character.. Splendid dial transformation..

we are here to discuss them, Tim, but I agree with you, we should more often do it.
Like you, I am a big fan of this elegant simplicity. As for the powermatic, wait, I will also post pics from time to time. Best! Nicolas.
In common with the Calatrava
Nicolas, You mention that the watch recalls the Patek Philippe Calatravas. I think I can see the elements that are evoking this association. Is it possible that the key to this effect is the large ratio of dial-to-bezel that is common to both models (i.e....
Ooooh, yes
Love the half-globe crown with its knurled strip, AND the elegant font used for the numerals. A beauty, all-round! What is the approximate date range of manufacture? Late 1930s? 1940s? Nuevo
