Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso

About this reference

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso reference 270.1.62, often categorized under the 276 series designation for its 18k yellow gold Grande Taille case, was produced primarily during the 1990s and early 2000s. Collectors target this reference because it established the modern proportions of the Reverso, measuring approximately 26mm by 42mm, which transitioned the model from vintage sizing to contemporary standards. It features the manual-wind Calibre 822, a shaped movement designed specifically for the rectangular case. The dial typically displays a silvered guilloché center with black Arabic numerals and a small seconds sub-dial at six o'clock. On the secondary market, these gold models generally trade between $7,000 and $11,000 depending on the presence of the original 18k tang buckle or deployant clasp. A notable production variant includes the "Night and Day" complication, which utilizes the same case architecture but incorporates a 24-hour indicator.
