Gold Case Jaeger LeCoultre Automatic with a date window and an alarm that rings against the case. I recently had the watch overrhauled and the watch repairman said it quite unique and I should insure the watch. I don't know much about it except my father wore it for as long as I can remember. The case number is 996594 and the movement is calibre K825 serial number 1724027. I would appreciate any information you can supply. | ||

Sounds like the bumper automatic alarm, movement dates to about 1967. Is it all 18k yellow gold? | ||

Thank you for the reply, no the upper is gold and the lower appears to be steel. | ||

Sounds like you have the alarm reference E855, gold top/steel back produced between 1960 and 1970. | ||

Any idea of the value I should place on it for insurance purposes or is it even worth insuring? | ||

Anywhere from $800 to $1400 depending on condition. Should be covered under most homeowners policies, you should just take a picture of it and note the case serial #. |
