1930s Duoplan 18k Gold Cord Bracelet

An intriguing 1930s Jaeger-LeCoultre Duoplan in 18k yellow gold, with a tiny geometric case that sits somewhere between rectangular and tonneau in form. The original two-tone dial has a warm rose-gilt effect, contrasted by applied dagger markers and oversized black Arabic numerals.

Extended lug bars allow the black cord bracelet to thread directly through the case, secured by gold-plated fittings and an Unroc-stamped jewellery clasp. A larger cord can also be provided upon request.

Powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 29 Duoplan manual-wind movement, whose compact two-plane construction allowed the movement to fit within the unusually small case. Winding is accessed from the case back. A charming Art Deco-era watch with unusual proportions and a distinctly jewellery-like presentation.
