Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Platinum Nr 2. A curious coincidence.
I bought a Reverso Platinum Number 2 in 2004 for an important birthday.
The movement is superb, too... The soleillé decoration converges to the tourbillon.
And, now, the details which explains the title I chose... The curious coincidence is that it is THE watch I bought in 2004! Nr 64.
3 years after, I decided to sell it to fund some other watches. Not that I regret having funded the watches in question, BUT.... I strongly regret having let my Platinum Nr 2 go.
Why the regret? This is simple, it is such a marvel.
I am not a tourbillon guy, I only like when they are on the back, or on the dial side, but with a special feature, or when they are part of the dial design ( Gyrotourbillon, or GP Tourbillon with bridges ).
Here, all is marvelous. The case size ( GT case, not far from perfection and absolute class ), the ruthenium dal the silver powder florale numbers, the 18 Ct white gold movement, and this delicious tourbillon which has the good taste to be on the verso side, for the selfish pleasure of its owner.
Look at this dial...

I have a curious habit when it comes to a limited edition I sold. When I see one, I always look at the number. This is the first time I fall on a watch I sold. In this case, it's been 13 years!
Coincidence or sign?

Many watches, no money. It was a beautiful piece. Maybe some day.
Looks wonderful
What I really like is the restraint. A very subtle watch.
And as you say GT case all most perfect.
And sometimes it's the coincidences that are important

Subtle, magnificent, elegant. And yes, restraint. As per the coincidence, it was quite troubling. [nt]

Holy Smokes, I Don't Remember...
You even talking about this stunner. Perfection with the secret tourbillon on the reverso side. Brilliant. And platinum. Wow! Just wow.

I posted some pictures from time to time. It really is a brilliant watch. One of my absolute favorite Reversos. [nt]

I love this one!!
I saw one in Tokyo 6 or so years ago and if I were to aim for a Reverso this would surely be it. It really left a strong impression in my mind! One of the ultimate 'Q' watches.
question
Thank you for the pics and the great post.
I surely hope you can get this piece back into your collection.
Have a quick question - you mention in your thread "18 Ct white gold movement". Does this watch have the 18K gold movement like the 70eme watch?
If so, does the "original RG reverso tourbillon" also have an 18K gold movement in RG?
I always thought the "gold colored movements" in the LE reversos were platings, other than the 60eme and 70eme.
Thank you as always!
RG had 14 Kt RG movements. As for the Platinum Nr 2, yes, a white gold movement ( bridges and plates ), like on the Septantième. [nt]

For me one of the best Reversos ever. The grey dial is just fantastic and the movement is to die for. I think that your discover was quite emotional, hope that one day you will bring it back!
Best.
You can easily imagine how I felt... Thanks for the kind words, PP5170G. [nt]
