Jaeger Chronograph 18k Bronze 1940s

Here we have an exceptional Jaeger Chronograph from the 1940s featuring a stunning 35 mm rose gold case and a beautiful bronze colored dial with a nice blue handset.

It was produced after Jaeger and LeCoultre had entered into a formal partnership in 1937, but while nearly all Jaeger-LeCoultre chronographs were still marketed with the Jaeger name signed dial and on the movement. You rarely find them in the all original condition like our example.
