A steel manually wound vintage wristwatch

A lovely late 1950s Jaeger-LeCoultre, this wristwatch has brightly polished applied hour indexes and handsome dauphine hands. The slim two-part case has a  screw-down back and gently downturned lugs.  Manually wound, this watch is powered by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s calibre 480 movement which is beautifully finished with decoratively damascened bridges.
