Lot 201: Jaeger LeCoultre Pink Gold AMVOX2 - Aston Martin Chronograph
Featuring JLC's patented vertical-trigger chronograph, the chronograph function is activated by pressing on the sapphire crystal of the case, eliminating the need for chrono pushers. An intricate system integrating the crystal, case, and movement is behind this innovation - a ball-joint system enables the case and bezel to pivot away from the lugs, activating the chronograph mechanism. A limited edition of 300 made in 2008, the 18 karat pink gold case measures 48 mm in diameter, with a thickness of 14 mm.
A switch on the side of the case at 9 o'clock enables or disables the chronograph function...the switch felt surprisingly loose to me...
Note the crevice between the lugs and the case center...this is the pivot point for the chronograph.
The hour and minute counters are at 9 and 3 o'clock respectively, indicated on transparent disks...
Estimate: $10,000 - 15,000 |
