Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grandsport Duo

Turn the case of this Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grandsport Duo over and the black dial gives way to a white one. Reference 295.8.51 pairs this double-faced design with a stainless steel Grandsport case and a hand-wound movement. Its functions include small seconds, a date and a 24-hour indication. At 28mm wide this is the men's reference, with a rectangular case fitted with sapphire crystal. For anyone looking for a pre-owned Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso with more than one face, the Duo builds the second dial into the reversible case itself.

This example was made in the 2000s and is offered as a full set, complete with its original box and papers. The black dial is finely textured, with Arabic numerals, matching hands and a flat date window. On the reverse, the white dial gives the watch a second, brighter face within the same steel case. The two sides make one watch with two distinct characters, and the change is a single turn of the case. Collectors seeking a complete example will appreciate that both box and papers have stayed with the watch.

The case shows minor signs of wear consistent with regular use. The original rubber strap has cracked and can no longer be worn, so the watch is supplied on a new black leather strap.
