A watch that feels straight out of a 1950s cocktail lounge: Sleek, sculptural, and brimming with quiet confidence. This LeCoultre Dress Watch was made for the American market, where Swiss finesse met mid-century flair.
With its elongated lugs, sharply defined Florentine bezel, and sunburst silver dial kissed with gold details, it captures the elegance of an era that prized design as much as precision.
This is a rare piece that bridges American glamour and Swiss refinement: Timeless, understated, and effortlessly sophisticated.
Please read the condition report carefully and refer to the high-resolution pictures to help you assess the overall condition of the watch.
MODEL / REFERENCE: LeCoultre 14k Yellow Gold Dress Watch, circa 1950s. Produced for the American market. The reference number is 415S462. SKU: 250728-1.
DIAL+HANDS: Original silver-toned dial with a subtle sunburst machine-turned texture, gracefully aged over time.
It displays a charming patina with age-related marks and small blemishes visible near 2, 7, and 10 o’clock. The imprinted logo text is still crisp and complete.
The applied gold hour markers and matching baton hands retain their warm tone, offering a refined contrast against the dial’s silver base.
CRYSTAL: The acrylic crystal remains clear, with light surface marks consistent with age and careful wear.
CASE: The 14k yellow gold case measures 34mm in diameter and stands out with its elongated lugs and crisp profiling lines, a hallmark of LeCoultre’s elegant 1950s styling.
The Florentine finish on the bezel remains well-defined, showing only light surface wear and evidence of gentle polishing in the past.
CASEBACK: Snap-on 14k yellow gold back, showing typical traces of wear and fine scratches, consistent with age. The interior is clean and bears all the period-correct stamps as well as the reference and serial numbers.
CROWN: Unsigned golden crown, likely original, operating smoothly and winding the movement as intended.
MOVEMENT: LeCoultre Cal. 830K/CW, a finely finished manual-wind movement bearing the U.S. import stamp on the balance cock. It has been inspected by a watchmaker and is reported to run well and keep accurate time.
