Reverso Classique Monoface | Original Bracelet & Strap | Ref. Q2518410

The Story

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is an undisputed monument in horological history. Born on the polo fields of India in 1931, it was originally engineered for British military officers who needed a way to protect their watch crystals during intense matches. The solution was genius: a swiveling case that flips to reveal a solid metal back. Nearly a century later, the Reverso Classique remains a pure expression of the Art Deco movement, celebrated for its geometric lines, refined rectangular silhouette, and timeless elegance that transcends passing trends.

The Craft

This Classique Monoface model features a silver dial detailed with a beautiful guilloché-style center texture, crisp black Arabic numerals, and the signature blued steel hands that catch the light elegantly. The ultra-thin stainless steel case is polished to a mirror-like finish and slides effortlessly underneath the tightest shirt cuffs. Powered by the reliable Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 657 quartz movement, this piece offers the prestigious heritage of the "Watchmaker of Watchmakers" with zero-hassle, everyday practicality.

Condition & Exceptional Versatility

This 2013 example is presented in Mint condition, maintaining its sharp factory-bevel lines with minimal to no visible signs of wear. The real standout of this specific listing is its versatility. While currently fitted on a comfortable aftermarket leather strap with a folding clasp for a traditional dress look, it also includes the highly sought-after original JLC stainless steel bracelet. These factory bracelets are rare to find on the secondary market and completely transform the watch into a structured, architectural, and sporty-elegant piece. Arriving as a True Full Set with its original box and dated 2013 papers, it is a complete and pristine collector's package.
