Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Répétition Minutes

About this reference

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Répétition Minutes reference 270.2.73 in 18k pink gold was produced in a limited series of 500 pieces starting in 1994. Collectors value this reference for its Calibre 943, a rectangular, manually wound minute repeater movement comprised of 306 parts. The watch features a silvered guilloché dial with Arabic numerals on the front and a skeletonized reverse side that displays the striking hammers and centrifugal governor. This model represents the first time a minute repeater complication was integrated into the Reverso’s swiveling case architecture. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades in the $40,000 to $60,000 range depending on condition and the presence of original accessories. While the pink gold version is the most common, a highly limited platinum variant exists, and a 1994 example in pink gold achieved a sale price of approximately 44,000 CHF at a major 2023 auction.
