Jaeger LeCoultre 140.6.98 Master Control Platinum Blue Dial LIMITED

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control 140.6.98 is a collector-grade dress watch that pairs the brand’s haute horlogerie DNA with the unmistakable tonneau personality of the Master Control case. In a Platinum build, it brings substantial presence to the wrist while still keeping a refined, classic silhouette. This reference is built around an in-house automatic movement, the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 891 / 448, known for its robust architecture and refined finishing typical of JLC manufacture timepieces. Functionally, the dial supports an accomplished triple-date presentation alongside moon phase, giving the watch real calendar utility with the romance collectors expect from a moon complication. The combination of applied suspended Arabic numerals and a saturated blue dial creates a visually rich, high-contrast reading that elevates it beyond a standard dress watch. With water resistance listed at 5 ATM, the watch is best viewed as an elegant day-to-evening piece rather than a sport tool, emphasizing dress-watch poise. At 38mm by 37mm case measurements reported in the market data, the 140.6.98 strikes a pleasing balance between statement and wearability for its age and architecture. For buyers focused on limited-production Master Control Moon themes, this reference is a particularly compelling target thanks to its distinctive configuration and pedigree within the Master Control universe. Retail pricing has been reported at approximately $25,000, underscoring that this is a true high-end JLC offering designed for collectors, not casual wearers.
