Up for auction this very rare LeCoultre Triple-Date 14K solid gold manually-wind men's wristwatch, manufactured in 1940's. This is a desirable big-size 36 mm version with tear-drop lugs.

The thick and heavy 14k solid-gold case is in beautiful condition, clean and sharp, with no damage or personal inscriptions. It bears an old-style LeCoultre emblem on the inner side with a tree and letters "L" and "C".

The dial has been expertly restored to it's original specifications and looks gorgeous. The rare in-house P484/A caliber movement is clean, good-running and keeping time with all the calendar functions working properly.

This watch is an ingenious LeCoultre invention: change of the month, date, and day of the week developed in one movement, that allowed to beautifully design the watch in a compact classic-shaped case.

This is one of important "historical" watches of the famous Swiss brand, and is always a highly desirable timepiece for a discriminating vintage watch collector, being also an excellent financial investment, always raising its value.
