Jaeger LeCoultre 270.1.62 Reverso Grande Taille 18K Yellow Gold Silver Dial

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille reference 270.1.62 is a classical expression of the maison's most enduring Art Deco design, offered here in 18K yellow gold with a silver dial and small seconds. Produced during the late 1990s, this reference belongs to the important Grande Taille generation that gave the Reverso a more modern wrist presence while preserving the original 1931 proportions and reversible case architecture. Its manually wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 822 is a slim, in-house movement long admired for its reliability, elegant layout, and suitability for the Reverso's rectangular form. The silver dial, typically accented by Arabic numerals, chemin-de-fer minute track, and blued hands, delivers the restrained visual language collectors expect from the most traditional Reverso executions. In yellow gold, the watch takes on a warmer and more formal character than its steel counterparts, while the blank reverse side preserves the model's historical link to the polo-ground origin of the case design. The Grande Taille format is particularly appealing to collectors because it bridges vintage charm and modern wearability without sacrificing the disciplined geometry that defines the line. Reference 270.1.62 is not a limited edition and was not produced for a specific country or boutique, which makes its appeal more about purity of design and period-correct execution than commemorative branding. As an expression of Jaeger-LeCoultre's manufacture identity, it combines architectural case construction, discreet finishing, and a proven hand-wound caliber in a package that remains one of the most collectible traditional Reversos. For buyers focused on classic dress watches with genuine horological pedigree, this reference stands out as a refined and historically grounded entry into the yellow-gold Reverso lineage. Excellent Condition with EWC leather travel pouch.
