Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox E876 Blue Purple Dial
tropical purple inner disc - like NOS condition - original bracelet
SoldThe tonneau-shaped stainless steel case, measuring a bold 39 x 45 mm, lends the watch a confident, sporty-elegant presence on the wrist. It features two functional crowns: the upper crown sets the alarm - a hallmark innovation of the Memovox line - while the lower crown winds the movement and sets the time.
The true highlight of this timepiece is its remarkable dial: the outer ring glows in rich royal blue, while the once light-blue center has developed a stunning purple tropical patina over the decades - a naturally aged hue that shifts between aubergine, chocolate, and smoky gray, depending on the light. A true one-of-a-kind among vintage dials, radiating depth, history, and character.
Despite its age, this Memovox is in near-unworn condition - a remarkable rarity. The watch is fitted with its original, beautifully preserved NSA stainless steel bracelet, perfectly complementing the case design. Particularly noteworthy: this example comes as a collector's set, including the original Jaeger-LeCoultre box, hangtag, and user manual - an exceptional find for any collector.
Whether as a stylish daily wearer or as a highlight in any collection - this Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Ref. E876 combines horological functionality with an exceptional vintage look.
