It's the re-edition of the 1949 triple date moonphase watch, honoring Jacque-David leCoultre who died in 1948. | ||

Honestly, I don't know. The watch is "too modern" for me. Only only collect pre-1975 watches, so I don't know sorry. My book has several photos of the original watch, both in gold filled and solid gold with all the pertinant information. | ||

Movement is a cal. 486 rectangular shape. The month does not forward automaticly, it needs to be corrected by hand. These were produced around 1983 to celebrate 150 years of (Jaeger)-LeCoultre. | ||

You are THE MAN! Where did they get 486s en mass like that? | ||

Where did they get 494s en mass for the round series unique [and unlimited ones]? My bet is they simply produced some.  One needs to see the movement serial!! Any scans? Hey Zaf don't you offer a 494 at the moment? | ||

The 494 re-edition I have is a vintage movement, like 596,000 serial. the case could be new production as it isn't stamped like the old watches, the dial is definitely new production or at a minimum new paint. |
