Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Eight Days Perpetual

About this reference

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Eight Days Perpetual reference Q161642A was produced during the mid-2000s and is no longer in current production. Collectors target this reference for its manual-wind Calibre 876-440B, which integrates a perpetual calendar with an eight-day power reserve. The 40mm case is constructed from 950 platinum, distinguished by a silvered sunray dial featuring a red security indicator that warns against adjusting the calendar during specific hours. This reference is noted for its high horizontal density of complications, including a moon phase and power reserve indicator, while maintaining a relatively slim profile. On the secondary market, this platinum model typically trades between $25,000 and $35,000 depending on condition and the presence of original accessories. A notable production detail is the limited nature of the platinum variant compared to the more common pink gold reference Q1612420, making it a rarer find at auction.
