I have inherited a Jaeger Le Coultre 1950s French Gold watch from my uncle who as a jockey won the Irish Derby in 1964.The watch was a gift from the owner of the horse John Ismay who was related to Bruce Ismay the Chief Engineer on the first sailing of the Titanic.Considering the history of the watch i was wondering could anybody indicate to me the possible current valuation of the watch. Thanks and regards Paul Burke | ||

Hi Zaf Thanks for the prompt reply. Unfortunately due to limited computer resources i am unable to send a photo. The watch is nearly identical to the watch at the top of this web page (face not numerical / one timer only and no date).It has the following engraving on the back : ' Santa Claus Irish Sweeps Derby 1964 '.The number A700621 is punched directly below this.The front face states that it is Automatic / Swiss.I have been informed that the watch is made from French Gold. I await your comments with interest. Tanks and regards Paul | ||

I really can't tell what it is without a photo, there is a lot of variety in automatic watches of that era. |
