The Galaxy is the only watch in the world which has some of the examples signed outwardly by both LeCoultre and Vacheron & (Vacheron & Constantin and Jeager-LeCoultre shared the same distributorship in the U.S.).
This reference has both a version that its outwardly signed and a version that is outwardly unsigned. As you can see this is the unsigned version, and it is otherwise identical to the signed version. The only difference between the two is the presence or absence of a signature.
This fine Mysterieuse presents in pleasing original condition. The only replacement part is the winding crown. It is the much more uncommon black dial version...the vast majority of these watches have a silver dial.
Its case presents in excellent condition. It is scratch-free with only light signs of previous polishing, and the rhodium plating is fully intact.
Its untouched original dial presents in excellent condition with only light aging. Its original acrylic disks are in mint condition, which is almost unheard of.
And its movement is very clean. Photos of the inside available upon request.
One of our Master Watchmakers has freshly disassembled its very find handwound movement down to the last screw and fully serviced it. It is running strong and true, keeping time nearly on par with a new JLC watch in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center. We have serviced and restored many hundreds of LeCoultre watches from this era.
