Super rare ladies' luxury wristwatch: Jaeger Lecoultre Duoplan Backwinder caliber 496 in 18K 750 solid white gold (probably hallmarked in the lid - proven by acid test)

An absolute style icon and legend of watchmaking history! Queen Elisabth ii wore a Jaeger LeCoultre Duoplan during her coronation

The technology of the Jaeger LeCoultre Dioplan also surprised all experts in the mid-1950s: never before had it been possible to build a high-precision mechanical movement so small and delicate

In-house Jaeger leCoultre hand-wound caliber 496, case diameter: 15 mm diameter

The watch has a unique and complicated peripheral winding system, with the winding crown positioned on the back of the watch case.

The dial of the watch is champagne-colored with multifaceted hour markers and original jlc hands.

The movement was disassembled, timed and oiled in August 2021. Setting and winding the time is smooth and easy. After winding, the watch keeps excellent time

History of the Jaeger leCoultre Duoplan caliber 496 (source: Watchwiki):

When it was introduced in the 1920s, the Duoplan caliber developed by Henri Rodanet (1884-1956), the technical director of the Etablissements Edmond Jaeger, was one of the smallest movements with serious accuracy. This was made possible by the two-level construction (hence the name of the model), which offered space for a sufficiently large balance wheel on a minimal footprint. The winding crown was set into the back of the case. Built in many different versions, the Jaeger Duoplan ladies' watch became an extremely successful classic. In 1929, the watchmakers of the company, which was renamed "Jaeger-LeCoultre" a year later, developed a smaller version of the Duoplan movement, which they called Caliber 101. At 14 mm long, 4.8 mm wide and 3.4 mm high, the Duoplan caliber 101 is still the smallest mechanical movement in the world today and is still produced in small quantities, as all parts have to be made individually by hand. Its original 74 (now 98) components together weighed just one gram. The most exclusive jewelry watches in the world were and still are equipped with the miniature Caliber 101 and adorn the wrists of the most privileged women. In 1953, Queen Elizabeth II wore a Jaeger-LeCoultre 101 at her coronation, and Cartier also used this Duoplan movement for its exclusive models. The movements were supplied by the European Watch & Clock Company Inc., a partnership between Cartier, Jaeger and LeCoultre
