With a little help from my friends and JLC experts here...
... I feel I´ll be able to better enjoy this little cute JLC timepiece I own since long ago: I will be happy to know its reference number and any info may be available about it.
It has a 35mm gold case with charming tear lugs, enclosing a nice manual wind movement P-449 (it is actually marked "P-449/3C") with serial number 813.xxx.
Case back has the serial number 567.xxx A. This puts this watch around 1951/52 I feel.
The dial has a nice patina which gives character to this watch which otherwise is in perfect working condition.
I am sharing here some pictures (taken today during a cloudy and cool Fall day down here) which I hope you´ll enjoy.
Have a nice week end friends!
Very cordially, Abel.

It looks very similar to the Ref 361, but the 361 has a grande seconde.
Maybe Jesper will help as he has the catalogs from this era. Yes, I confirm, circa 1952, Amigo. Un abrazo. Nicolas
What a beauty, dear Abel!
Gold case with teardrop lugs is a beautiful combination! Here are a couple of scans with similar watches, but not exact the same dial you have. 1945: 1952: Hope this helps in your search, my friend! Best Blomman ...
Thank you dear Friends Nicolas and Blomman for your comments and help...
... To identify my little oldie! Blomman: yes, my watch is very similar to those in your old advertisments. You got a mine of information in your awesome memorabilia collection! Thanks again friends! Very cordially Abel.
