The first Reverso was produced in 1931, and remarkably, its design has remained nearly unchanged within all the decades that came. The story behind this iconic watch began in 1930, when Cesar De Trey—a successful Swiss businessman and watch dealer—visited India and attended a spirited polo match, a popular sport of the time. After the game, a British army officer remarked in frustration about the frequent breaking of his watch crystal during play and, with a touch of humor, challenged De Trey to create a classic, elegant timepiece that could withstand the impacts of a polo match while still being suitable for formal occasions. This request sparked the creation of the Reverso. Scroll down to read more about this lovely example.

Description

This well preserved 18K yellow gold example features a subtle diamond set and fine detailed gold dial with applied golden JLC logo.
The bracelet shows diamond set bars on the first three links up and down from the dial.

The dial, bracelet and case all show to be in unrestored and extremely well preserved condition showing just minimal signs of use.
The bracelet has no stretch with all removable links present. When we ‘reverse’ the case we find no personal inscription or monogram.

The Cal. 601 movement has been fitted with a new battery and is running/setting time perfectly.
Comes with original box (showing some wear) and the original JLC guarantee.

The watch measures a wrist circumference of up to 17 centimeters. The bracelet can be sized down to fit smaller sized wrists easily with an innovative link adjusting system.
