This Jaeger-LeCoultre dress watch from 1956 is presented in a 9ct gold case, paired with its original Jaeger-LeCoultre coffin-style presentation box. The watch is powered by a manual-wind movement and carries the reference 10621. The silver dial is set with applied gold indices at the hours, alternating between Arabic numerals and faceted markers, with slim dauphine hands completing the mid-century aesthetic.
The caseback bears a personalised inscription dated 24-2-56, adding to the character of the piece. The slim gold case measures elegantly on the wrist, typical of 1950s design, and is fitted with a black leather strap.

A Short History of Jaeger-LeCoultre
Founded in 1833 in Le Sentier, Switzerland, Jaeger-LeCoultre has long been regarded as the “watchmaker’s watchmaker,” supplying movements to some of the most prestigious names in horology. The brand is known for combining technical innovation with refined design, from the iconic Reverso to ultra-thin calibres and grand complications. With over 400 patents and a tradition of producing both cases and movements entirely in-house, Jaeger-LeCoultre remains one of the few true manufactures, admired for its craftsmanship and elegance across nearly two centuries.
