Jaeger le Coultre, "Mistery" in White Gold Ref. 17006

A rare and extraordinary Jaeger-LeCoultre Mystery Reference 17006 in 18k white gold, a collector's timepiece that defies conventions with its innovative design and timeless charm. The oval white gold case frames a "floating" dial, an optical illusion achieved through a sapphire crystal on both the front and the back of the case, revealing a second, smaller dial magically suspended in the center with no visible means of support. The effect is one of the most captivating in all of vintage watchmaking, combining technical ingenuity with a visual poetry that remains as compelling today as it was in 1964.

Collector's Note

The rear-winding movement is an additional refinement that contributes directly to the clean, uninterrupted lines of the front profile: with no crown visible on the side of the case, the oval silhouette remains perfectly pure. The original white gold bracelet, when present, completes the piece with a stylistic consistency that is rare to find intact after more than six decades. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Mystery is one of the most conceptually ambitious watches produced by the Grande Maison of Le Sentier, and the Reference 17006 in white gold represents its most refined and precious expression. For the collector who values the intersection of art, illusion, and haute horlogerie, this is an exceptional and irreplaceable piece.
