Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique 18K Gold Black Dial 250.2.86 (Asprey & Garrard Papers)
Buy the iconic 18K gold Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 250.2.86 with a rare black Art Deco dial. Includes original 2001 papers stamped by Asprey & Garrard London.
Few timepieces command the historical gravitas and pure architectural grace of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique Reference 250.2.86. While many standard Reverso models utilize light silvered dials, this exceptional neo-vintage masterpiece features a deeply dramatic, glossy black dial. Framed perfectly by its solid 18K gold rectangular case, the golden hands, dagger indices, and geometric minute track shimmer effortlessly against the dark backdrop, delivering an unmatched mid-century Art Deco punch on the wrist.
True to its heritage, a graceful slide and flip of the case protects the dial and showcases a clean, polished gold canvas on the reverse side—perfect for custom engraving or celebrating its classic, unadorned gold form.
What elevates this specific reference to true investment-grade status is its rich, verified lineage. This watch was originally purchased on February 16, 2001 from the legendary luxury purveyor Asprey & Garrard Ltd on London's historic New Bond Street. The original paperwork includes matching reference and serial numbers, guaranteeing the collector an ironclad pedigree. Supplied with a premium brown ostrich leather strap and a stamped 18K solid gold buckle, this is a rare configuration of an undisputed horological icon.
