The JLC Reverso Classique!

How can you protect the sapphire crystal of a watch during a polo match? Simply turn the watch over and display the case back. This was devised at the beginning of the 19th century to protect the watches of the British upper class during their favorite sport - the JLC Reverso.

Our offered model is the classic steel version with the hand-wound 846 caliber.

The case shows slight signs of wear. The original steel bracelet is present and in equally good condition.

The original purchase invoice as well as a JLC folding clasp with a used ostrich leather strap are present.

During a previous service, the case back was polished more heavily, which is why the reference number is no longer legible. The serial number is legible.

The watch has been fully serviced by our partner atelier and comes with a 1-year warranty.
