Jaeger-LeCoultre "Memovox Automatic", Case No. 1329361, Ref. 73800-21, Cal. 916, 43 mm, circa 1973
An extremely rare vintage automatic wristwatch with alarm and date, Model "Snowdrop" - with original box and original guarantee
Case: 18k gold, JLC 18k gold bracelet. Dial: gold, central alarm disc.
Jaeger-LeCoultre’s "Snowdrop" with its monocoque case is a classic example of the Memovox range design. The crowns on the case hardly stand out at all and the watch is fitted with calibre 916, which is fully automatic - i.e., different to earlier versions of the Memovox.
The "Snowdrop" is a fairly unusual version of the Memovox; only about 2,000 pieces in total were produced in the 1970s, less than 100 of them in solid gold as far as we know.
