Adding to its collector rarity, the Galaxy is the only watch in the world signed outwardly by both LeCoultre and Vacheron & Constantin (Vacheron & Constantin and Jeager-LeCoultre shared the same distributorship in the U.S.).
Today's offering showcases this fine Mysterieuse that presents in pleasing condition.
The case presents in excellent condition. The dial has been restored. And movement is very clean.
Our watchmaker has freshly disassembled its very find handwound movement down to the last screw and cleaned and oiled the movement.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile skin 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.
