With its gorgeous tear-shaped lugs, oversized stainless steel case, and crisp two-tone silver dial with red date chapter, the present Jaeger LeCoultre wristwatch is certainly one of the most beautiful and elegant timepieces made by the brand during the 1940s.

A triple calendar indicating the day and month in French via two apertures at 12 o’clock, the watch was specially ordered to commemorate Banque Cantonale Vaudoise’s 100th anniversary in 1945. Most probably gifted by the bank to a VIP client or a well deserving executive staff member, this watch is well preserved in truly mint condition. It is further accompanied by its original custom made box, specially mentioning the bank’s anniversary, as found on the engraved caseback.
