Notes

This watch is part of a limited series of 500 pieces, produced in 1990 ' s. After having produced the famous "Reverso " in the version Tourbillon, minute repeating and Dual time, it took Jaeger LeCoultre two years studies to realize this "Chronographe Retrograde " . The complexity of this model constrained the creators to use a double dial: one for the usual reading of the time and the date and the other one for the chronograph functions.
