When it comes to aesthetics, for some collectors topping the chart of the Jaeger-LeCoultre's special vintage wristwatches is the exquisite LeCoultre/Vacheron & Constantin Galaxy Mystery Dial. Named after the way the hour marker mysteriously floats around the dial, seemingly unattached to the rest of the watch yet keeping perfect time, these exceptional wristwatches captivate the imagination.

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.).

We are proud to offer this special all-original black dial Mysterieuse. It is in beautiful original condition. It is an uncommon black dial version...and its gorgeous original black dial appears perfect mint! When we acquired it it even still had its original suede band, which is included with the offering.

Our watchmaker has freshly disassembled its very find handwound movement down to the last screw and cleaned and oiled the movement. It is quite pristine and running very true.

Since its original band showed some wear, for the finishing touch we have installed a new genuine Teju lizard 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.
