Jaeger Lecoultre Gyrotourbillon One Platinum PVD. One version I didn't know!
I thought I knew all the non jeweled versions of the Jaeger Lecoultre Gyrotourbillon One. I was wrong.
You all know the first opus in platinum, limited to 75 pieces, introduced in the collection in 2004.
We know that in 2009, there were two white gold versions, one with the Clous de Paris, limited to 20 pieces, the other belonging to the Hybris Mechanica set of three watches, with the famous open dial, limited to 30 pieces.
I knew that there was a micro series of platinum PVD case, with the first generation dial. Not sure it saw the light, it was a project, at least.
The version I just discovered is this one: The platinum PVD case, with the open dial of the 2009 white gold version. Credit picture: Antiquorum.
A micro edition of 5 pieces, circa 2010:
There are some differences with the white gold open dial from 2009, with darkened parts: The time dial, the months, the days and the reserve de marche.
A quite spectacular version, I must say, but I still prefer the first " One ".
You?
Best,
Nicolas

Astonishingly cool.
Not sure if I would choose it, but definitely a cool one. Thanks for enlarging our wisdom. Vte
These hidden Gyro gems are killing me!
I did not know of ‘black beauty’ very very cool.
I have been after them since the longest period .
First attempt was during JL leadership then Karoline Heuber and now i will meet the new lady and see what can be done . The first issue they had was that many collectors in the past wanted this version and it would be unfair to do a piece unique and would...
crazy time piece... very intriguing indeed.
I like the original one as well. First time I see a platinum case PVD, why would anyone do this? on a larger piece like this would it not be more suited to make the case in titanium and PVD for the black look? Stealthy for sure with the platinum however.....
Comfort is a luxury I value....
For a large watch to be wearable it has to be comfortable, to me at last... Is Pvd on platinum sensible?
I too have not seen this version. Absolutely favored over the bejeweled versions. Not sure if it is too sporty for the significance of the piece but I certainly wouldn’t mind if it happened to show up at my door. I do like the very limited nature of the
run. Don’t know early it is to read the functions given the blackness of the case by alas I would surely suffer.
