Jaeger LeCoultre 278856J Grande Reverso Ultra Thin 1931 Rouge SS Red Dial

The Jaeger‑LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra Thin 1931 Rouge (ref. 278856J) is a boutique‑only special edition first released in 2012 that reinterprets the vibrant red lacquer dials of the 1930s with a modern sensibility. Encased in polished stainless steel measuring approximately 46.8mm by 27.4mm and a remarkably slender 7.3mm thick, it preserves the iconic Art Deco proportions while offering a refined, contemporary presence. Powered by the in‑house manual‑wind Calibre 822 — a mere 2.94mm thick, beating at 21,600 vph with 21 jewels and a 45‑hour power reserve — the movement underscores JLC’s mastery of ultra‑thin horology. The reversible case, a hallmark of the Reverso line, flips to a solid back bearing the “1000 Hours Control” certification, emphasizing both robustness and tradition. The deep red dial, paired with rhodium‑plated baton indices and hands, delivers a striking visual contrast and collector appeal. As a limited, boutique‑exclusive red variant of the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin, this model holds strong relevance among enthusiasts for its combination of historical homage, technical finesse, and aesthetic rarity. Excellent Condition with Jaeger‑LeCoultre box and papers dated 2015.
