Originally conceived in 1931 for British polo players stationed in India, the Reverso remains one of the most iconic designs in horological history. Its ingenious swiveling case, created to protect the fragile glass from impact, transformed a sporting necessity into a masterpiece of Art Deco design.

The present example, combining stainless steel and yellow gold, epitomizes the refined duality at the heart of the Reverso concept: elegance and function in perfect balance. The aged two-tone dial, with its Arabic numerals and chemin-de-fer minute track, radiates vintage charm and authenticity, enhanced by the warmth of its gilt details.

A timeless emblem of ingenuity and style, this early mixed-metal Reverso embodies Jaeger-LeCoultre’s enduring pursuit of technical artistry and aesthetic grace, a true icon of 20th-century design.
