Today's offering showcases this wonderful classic LeCoultre. Named the Pershing, it exhibits the style and precision one expects from the 'Grande Maison'.
It has all of its original parts down to all of its hands and original winding crown.
It is in very pleasing restored condition. Its solid 14K gold presents in excellent condition. The dial has previously been restored and is bright and clean. And the movement is quite pristine.
One of our our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, installing a correct new-old-stock mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value). We have installed an new-old-stock mineral glass crystal to give a clear view of the pie-pan shaped dial to the very edge.
It is running extremely strong - it's ticking as strongly as a brand new watch.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new Italian calfskin leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
This a special opportunity to own a fine JLC timepiece before it slips into someone's prized collection.
