Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic 1958

About this reference

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic 1958 reference Q800652J was released in 2014 as a limited edition of 58 pieces to commemorate the original 1958 model created for the International Geophysical Year. This platinum reference features a 38.5mm case and a white dial distinguished by its "crosshair" design and vintage-style luminous plots on the inner flange rather than the dial itself. It is powered by the caliber 898/1, a self-winding movement featuring a hacking seconds mechanism and a balance wheel with micro-adjustment screws. Unlike the steel and gold versions, the platinum variant was sold exclusively through Jaeger-LeCoultre boutiques. On the secondary market, this reference typically commands prices between $25,000 and $35,000 depending on the presence of original accessories. Its rarity is defined by the low production volume, making it the most difficult iteration of the 2014 Geophysic tribute series for collectors to acquire.
