Happy Wednesday everyone! I am selling this super rare 1956 Jaeger-LeCoultre Futurematic Porthole with the later 817/1 movement which is from my personal collection. The watch runs great and keeps good time on my timegrapher and watch winder. It has a new crystal and a new high quality Barton quick-release strap with matching gold Hirsch deployment clasp. The case diameter is 36mm. These watches do not have a crown as they are automatic, and only have a small wheel on the back to adjust the time. This watch has a solid 14k gold case and 10k gold filled case back. It has been fully disassembled, cleaned, inspected, reassembled, oiled, and timed. These portholes are very rare! The E502 Porthole models accounted for only 5% of the Futurematics made in the 1950s, totaling about 3000 known units, which is why these are not coming up for sale often. The movement is Serial #1259794. I specialize in repairing and restoring these specific watches (my site is www.futurematic.com), so you can be sure it will work as expected or your money back. I also provide a one year service warranty with the watch (USA only), so if it stops functioning as expected you can send it back to me and I will repair it at cost of any broken parts. I'm asking for $4500 shipped with insurance in the USA. Payment must be made via Venmo or PayPal. Please let me know if you have any questions or want any specific pictures not listed and I will happily take them for you! Josh @ Futurematic
