Watch retails for over $1 million, as this is a very special piece.  It is the world’s first spherical tourbillon, at the heart of Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 177, it is associated with fascinating complications: a running equation of time and a perpetual calendar fitted with four retrograde hands.

The Jaeger Le Coultre Gyrotourbillon 1 watch,  has a round platinum case set with baguette diamonds, black alligator leather strap, skeleton dial with exposed tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock, approx 158 baguette diamonds.
