A rare 1960s Jaeger-LeCoultre “Mystérieuse” manual-winding wristwatch in 18kt yellow gold, featuring a distinctive mystery dial with floating hands, Vendôme-style central lugs, and a back-wind crown. The transparent dial and baton-style gold hands create the illusion of suspended movement — a hallmark of mid-century horological innovation. The timepiece is powered by a rhodium-plated 6¾ ligne mechanical movement with 17 jewels, lever escapement, and a monometallic balance. The case, movement, and dial are all signed.
