This piece features a slim tonneau case crafted in 18K white gold, with a silk-like brushed finish applied to the upper surface. The case design showcases the supple, refined character unique to white gold, while the silver dial, finished with vertical brushing, adds a delicate and understated elegance. The crystal is made of glass and reflects light with a mirror-like intensity when viewed in person. Both the indexes and hands incorporate a central black print, contributing to excellent legibility and a well-balanced aesthetic.
Inside is the Cal. K1014, a high-grade movement based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Cal. 818—an esteemed calibre used exclusively by Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin. Adjusted to five positions and temperature, it offers a level of precision and reliability befitting a refined dress watch.
The case remains in beautiful condition with minimal signs of wear. The fine brushing on the upper surface is well preserved, and the edges along the sides are crisp. The hallmarks on the case back are clearly visible, quietly attesting to the appeal of solid white gold. The dial shows very little ageing, the hands retain a lustrous shine, and the black central print enhances readability. While the indexes display slight patina, the overall impression is one of harmony and refined balance. Fully serviced by our watchmaker.
The gentle radiance of the white-gold case paired with the vertically brushed silver dial creates an air of composed sophistication—an expression of dress-watch elegance. This model captures the poised two-hand design typical of high-grade timepieces from the 1970s, offering a sense of quiet luxury through its graceful proportions and meticulous finishing.
