Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso 20mm - Ref. 260.8.86

For sale is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ref. 260.80.86, a beautifully proportioned ladies model presented in stainless steel and featuring the iconic reversible case that has defined the Reverso collection since its introduction in the 1930s. The watch is accompanied by a Jaeger-LeCoultre service box.

The Case
Crafted in stainless steel, the classic rectangular Reverso case measures approximately 33mm x 20mm, featuring the collection’s signature stepped gadroons, polished surfaces and signed Jaeger-LeCoultre crown. Its defining feature is the ingenious swivelling case, which rotates within its carriage to reveal a clean polished reverse, a distinctive design originally developed to protect the watch dial during sporting activities.

The Dial
The silver dial features bold black Arabic numerals, blued steel hands and a blue railway-style minute track, giving it the classic Art Deco character of the Reverso. The dial displays minor age-related discolouration around the outer edges, adding subtle vintage character while retaining a clean overall appearance.

The Strap
The watch is fitted to a brown textured generic leather strap, which complements its vintage-inspired styling particularly well. Importantly, it retains an original polished Jaeger-LeCoultre pin buckle, bearing the distinctive JLC emblem.

The Movement
The watch is powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 846 manual-winding movement, a movement particularly associated with the smaller classic Reverso models. Its manually wound construction complements the slim proportions and traditional mechanical character of the watch.

An elegant example of one of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s most celebrated designs, this Reverso Ref. 260.80.86 combines refined ladies’ proportions, distinctive Art Deco styling and the mechanical charm of a manually wound movement.
