Cartier, Reversible, n° 542xx, circa 1970.
A rare and superb reversible ladies' watch in gold, case mounted on a stretcher, white dial, radiating Roman numerals, railway minute track, blued steel glaive hands, crown set with a cabochon sapphire. Hand-wound mechanical movement, caliber JLC 850, yellow gold folding clasp.
The watch is in excellent overall condition, both aesthetically and mechanically, with the stretcher system operating smoothly.
The style of this case is typical of the classic "Reverso" case invented by René Chauvot, French patent no. 712868 dated March 4, 1931 and later acquired by Jaeger-LeCoultre. Our watch appears to conform to the patent specifications, but in our example designed by Cartier, most likely in small series. Conceived as a synthesis between a sports watch and a more distinguished watch, the dial can disappear into the case for protection during activities. A rare opportunity to acquire a watch with a relatively simple but truly unusual appearance.
