Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra Thin 1931 Blue Boutique Edition Ref. Q278858J – Stainless Steel – Box & Papers – 2013

We are pleased to present this highly desirable and increasingly collectible Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra Thin 1931 Blue Boutique Edition Ref. Q278858J, crafted in stainless steel and offered with its original box and papers from 2013. Produced as a special Boutique Edition, this remarkable timepiece combines the purest expression of the Reverso design with one of the most striking and sought-after dial executions ever created by the manufacture.

Originally introduced in 1931, the Reverso remains one of the most iconic wristwatches in horological history. Conceived to withstand the rigors of polo matches through its ingenious reversible case, the model quickly transcended its sporting origins to become a timeless symbol of Art Deco elegance. The Ultra Thin 1931 collection pays tribute to the earliest Reverso models, faithfully recreating their clean lines, minimalist aesthetics, and exceptional proportions.

What sets this Boutique Edition apart is its stunning deep blue dial, a highly distinctive and captivating interpretation of the classic Reverso design. Free from unnecessary distractions, the dial features only the applied Jaeger-LeCoultre signature and subtle minute track, allowing the rich blue surface to take center stage. The result is a watch of remarkable elegance, simplicity, and visual impact.

The stainless steel case retains the Reverso’s legendary reversible construction, allowing the wearer to protect the dial or personalize the solid caseback through engraving if desired. Its slim profile and refined dimensions make it exceptionally comfortable on the wrist while preserving the unmistakable architectural presence that has defined the model for more than nine decades.

At its heart beats the hand-wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 822, a movement developed and manufactured entirely in-house. Renowned for its reliability, slim construction, and refined finishing, the caliber perfectly complements the elegant character of the Ultra Thin 1931 while providing a traditional and engaging winding experience.

- Original Jaeger-LeCoultre presentation box

- Original Jaeger-LeCoultre papers

- Boutique Edition blue dial

- 2nd back side face with silver dial

- Stainless steel reversible case

- Manual-winding in-house Caliber 822
