The Watch: The Reverso case was built in 1931 so polo players could flip the watch and face a slab of metal to the dangers of the game rather than the fragile crystal. For sixty years that meant the reverse side was dead space, engraved or enameled if the owner felt like it and blank if he didn't. The Duoface, introduced in 1994, is when JLC decided to use it.
This is a duetto, ostensibly a woman's watch, but in solid yellow gold there's enough heft for anyone to wear. The front is silver with a guilloché center with applied Arabic numerals. The reverse is the "Miami side," a mother-of-pearl dial with gold dauphine hands and two strings of diamonds across the brancards of the case.
Powered by the JLC caliber 844, a small but mighty movement with 18 jewels and 38 hours of power reserve.
The case is 21mm across and 33mm tall including the brancards, in solid 18k yellow gold.
Bracelet will fit a 6.5" wrist.
Condition: Very good. Light wear visible in photos.
