Old Family ladies watches: a Jaeger Le Coultre

[Stephane]

Hi All,

I'm not sure I ever post some of these photos.

My sister and I are keeping these watches as a souvenir from our Mother and Grand Mother who passed away.

Among them is a Jaeger Le Coultre Joaillerie that we've been told is platinium.

Of course, it still runs perfectly after 50 years

I thought it was nice to post it here

Cheers

Stephane

I hope they are real.

I wouldn't want to discover that my father offered a rep JLC from Trusty to my mother to celebrate my birth

Hmmm, wait, trusty didn't exist in the 60ies

If that JLC is really Platinum encrusted with (so many gigantic) genuine diamonds then it could be worth a pretty insane amount of money... six figures even.

Well, I'm not sure Gigantic is the right word as the watch is pretty small.

It's at my sister's place so I cannot make a side by side with one of our watches, but I'll try to remember it for the next time I go there.

Also bear in mind: old diamonds doesn't have any value compared to the new ones due to the way the stones were cut in those times.
