Known for its distinct qualities of its fine shaped tonneau case, integrated bracelet and the ultra thin automatic calibre 1121 based on the calibre 920 derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre. The design quickly became one of the brand’s most iconic luxury sports timepiece. The ref. 46007 also known as the “333” is the successor produced during the 1980s. The most distinctive element is the much rounded octagon case with a 32 diameter wearing at a smaller size on the wrist. The present example features a 18k gold sigma dial indicated by the σ Sigma σ at 6 o’clock and matching gold date aperture, markers throughout. Further charmed on the case back is the engraving “Norbert Ioss 31.1.1986”, believed to be the name of the watchmaker and date of completion by request of the original owner. Preserved in excellent overall condition with very minimal signs of use and wear, the timepiece also comes with the complete original full set accessories.
