Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Rose Gold 40mm Q1322410 BEIGE BLACK CROCODILE

Jaeger-LeCoultre is a prestigious manufacture with a celebrated history of creating technically advanced watches in thin profiles, a tradition directly embodied by the Master Ultra Thin collection. The reference Q1322410 is a 40mm timepiece crafted from 18k rose gold, featuring a polished bezel and case that demonstrate a high level of finishing. The dial is a beige color with applied gold indices and feuille-style hands, offering a classic and highly legible presentation. This model is fitted with a black crocodile leather strap, which complements the warm tones of the rose gold case and the neutral dial. The overall design is intentionally clean and focused on the tourbillon complication positioned at 6 o’clock, avoiding any superfluous elements that would detract from its technical purpose and elegant proportions.

The watch is powered by the manually-wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 978. This movement is renowned for its slim construction, a key characteristic of the brand’s ultra-thin expertise. The central complication is a flying tourbillon, which is mounted on a single side and rotates once per minute to counter the effects of gravity on the rate accuracy. The tourbillon carriage is openworked and does not feature a small seconds indicator, presenting the mechanism in a pure, unadorned form. The movement’s decoration includes Côtes de Genève striping, circular graining on the mainplate, and bevelled bridges, all of which are visible through the sapphire crystal case back. This level of finishing is consistent with the brand’s standing as a top-tier manufacture.

This specific example is in mint condition and is new, supplied with its manufacturer documentation. The presence of these papers is essential for authentication and future service. Within the collector’s market, Jaeger-LeCoultre tourbillon models are consistently sought after, particularly those from the Master collection which represent a more understated and classic approach to high watchmaking compared to more ostentatious pieces. The combination of a precious metal case, an iconic ultra-thin profile, and a legitimate tourbillon complication positions this watch as a significant and collectible reference. It represents a direct link to one of the brand’s most important technical legacies and holds a strong position in the category of dress watches with high-horology complications.
