Thanks Grant.
Yes on page 991 there are indeed two such photos, but they are small photos and I am aware there are some other models that were created. I am not sure if the PP models have JL movements.
Some of the Hamilton, ie USA, models have a Hamilton marked calibre and there is absolutely no reference to JL anywhere. I wondered if PP were the same. I know they are rare birds and the Complete Price Guide to Watches values these at $100K+ -- hence my interest to authenticate examples.
Patek Philippe Reverso
To the history buffs.
I was recently offered a white gold Reverso which was not a JL but a Patek Philippe. The reverso is a 1930's model. I am not sure if JL made them for PP or whether they are a different watch entirely but it looks exactly like a JL of the 1930s.
The collector who is selling it, describes it as in minty condition and only recently serviced. He is reluctant to allow me to photograph the watch. Does anybody have any info on this watch model? I am aware that as per page 174 of the Manfred Fritz work on the Reverso, that some movements were made available to PP, Cartier and Hamilton, but pictures of these watches seem a little rare.
