THE COLLECTOR'S HOLY GRAIL: A TRUE TIME CAPSULE
Presenting a museum-grade example of mid-century Swiss-American horology. This is not just a watch; it is a complete, untouched "Triple Box" set that looks as if it stepped out of a high-end jeweler's display in 1965.
THE DIAL & DESIGN
The iconic "Museum" minimalist aesthetic features a deep, obsidian-black dial anchored by the signature gold-tone triangle at 12 o'clock. This "Mystery" styling influenced a generation of dress watches and remains one of the most elegant designs in the LeCoultre catalog.
THE CASE & PROVENANCE
Housed in a 10k Gold Filled case manufactured by the renowned Star Watch Case F Company (Michigan, USA). The case back is crisp, featuring the original technical engraving: "REMOVE BEZEL TO USE 1260 WRENCH."
Interior Case Markings: "Cased and Timed in U.S.A. by LeCoultre"
Reference: 2770-685 / 880
THE MOVEMENT
Inside is the legendary LeCoultre Caliber K818/CW. This 17-jewel manual-wind movement is in pristine aesthetic condition, showing no signs of the oxidation or "pitting" common in vintage pieces. It features the authentic "VXN" Swiss import hallmark (the official mark for Vacheron Constantin & LeCoultre).
THE "FULL SET" ADVANTAGE
What sets this listing apart is the inclusion of the complete original presentation kit: Original LeCoultre Inner Sales Box: Green velvet-lined, excellent hinge integrity. Original Outer Cardboard Case Box, which is extremely rare to find surviving in this condition. Original Factory Sales Tag, the final piece for the completionist collector.
The movement is currently running and holding time but movement service history is unknown, however, long-term accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Note: As with all vintage watches, the water resistance is not guaranteed. Watch case and dial have minor surface scratches and in overall good condition.
