Notes
Jaeger-LeCoultre, Ref. 2050 and 2051
These references were produced with a new 19’’’ 8-day going calibre, Cal. 205 (or 19 LECBC), with patented power-reserve indication, of which only 3 000 examples were manufactured. These model are signed (in the subsidiary dial at 3 o’clock) in three different ways: “JaegerLeCoultre”, “Jaeger” and “LeCoultre”. It is generally considered that the second signature is intended for the French market and the third for the American market. The cases are generally built in stainless steel “Staybrite” and rarely in 18K yellow gold, under Ref. 2050 (rounded bezel) and Ref. 2051 (inclined bezel).
