Description
This is a very special vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso dating to the early 1930s. This watch was owned by a rather famous individual “Anthony Drexel Biddle Jr.” who was named the “Best-Dressed man of All Time” in the 1940s. Biddle was a General, Ambassador and friends with President John F. Kennedy. This watch comes with a letter from his nephew. There is much information about him on the internet. This Reverso is very rare due to its dual name original dial signed “W. Allemann” (the retailer) as well as Reverso Standard. The Biddle family crest is engraved on one side, further enhancing its ownership. The blued steel hands are original. This stainless steel Reverso case displays very fine condition, measuring 22.8×36.8mm and is without any flaws worth noting. The steel bracelet is signed Movado and came on the watch when purchased and was said to have been worn by Anthony. The fine original movement was just serviced and is accurate. I have priced this rare and fine vintage watch extremely well.
