Item History & Price
NOTICE FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS REGARDING PAYMENT: Please contact me before you participate in my sale or make any offers regarding payment . I require mandatory discussion of payment terms before purchase.ITEM DESCRIPTION: I am pleased to offer this ultra-complicated and top echelon Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control Perpetual Calendar Moonphase Autmoatic Wristwatch Reference 140.8.80.S in stainless steel. This was one of the most complicated wristwatches that Jaeger LeCoultre made in the early 2000s with full Perpetual Calendar Display and Moonphase. The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control Perpetual was made from 1996 until 2004 and at that time the retail price was $15, 980 and it was one of the highest priced stainless steel watches in the entire Jaeger LeCoultre collection. Inside the watch it uses the wonderful JLC caliber 889/440/2 with 50 jewels and more than 277 parts, of course with full perpetual calendar functions plus moonphase indication all incorporated in a thin-profile automatic movement. It is part of the ‘Master Control’ collection meaning it was tested for more than 1000 hours when it left JLC and even the automatic rotor has a 22Kt gold rim. As all watch collectors and aficionados understands the prowess of Jaeger LeCoultre’s technical manufacturing ability, this particular movement was made from 1996 when it was first developed all the way until 2013 when it was replaced by the new JLC 868 perpetual ultra thin automatic movement. It shows what an awesome caliber it is for a true powerhouse manufacturer like JLC to produce this caliber for more than 15 years. Design-wise this wristwatch is simply superb with highly legible black dial and white fonts, along with silver applied markers. It is very comfortable to wear due to the thin profile case, and elegant yet robust in all aspects. Condition-wise this watch is in excellent running shape having been recently serviced. It is keeping good time and all of the functions work flawlessly. Since original Jaeger LeCoultre factory specification was chronometer-rated, I DO NOT GUARANTEE that it runs to factory specifications but everything performs as they should for a pre-owned timepiece. Cosmetically the watch can be described as excellent. It has been pre-owned but it is in really minty shape with no more than a few faint scratches here and there. BRAND NEW AUTHENTIC Jaeger LeCoultre alligator strap has been fitted to the watch. JLC Folding clasp/buckle is also included. It comes with its original JLC blue inner/outer boxes, Master Control instruction manual, and blank international guarantee certificate. Setting stylus is also included. Diameter without crown is 37mm, manufacturer's suggested retail price is $15, 980.Specs at a glance:- Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control Perpetual Calendar Moonphase Watch 37mm diameter without crown. - Reference 140.8.80.S Functions include automatic winding, perpetual calendar, moophase indicator.- Ultra-Complicated movement Cal.889/440/2 with 277 parts, Automatic 1000hr tested.
