Jaeger LeCoultre Ellipse Automatic Ref. 5002.42 – 1970s Ultra-Thin Icon with Striking Blue Dial
We are proud to present this remarkable 1970s Jaeger LeCoultre Ellipse, a sophisticated and boldly designed timepiece that encapsulates the innovation and elegance of the era. With its captivating oval case, deep blue sunburst dial, and ultra-thin automatic movement, this watch is a celebration of both form and function.
Historical Significance & Design
The Ellipse line emerged during a golden age of design exploration in the 1970s, where watchmakers departed from traditional round cases in pursuit of distinctive aesthetics. The ref. 5002.42 is a prime example, featuring a beautifully sculpted oval steel case measuring 30.8mm in width and 39mm lug-to-lug—an ideal proportion that wears gracefully on the wrist.
Its bold, minimalist design is punctuated by the vibrant blue dial, a testament to Jaeger LeCoultre’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation during the quartz crisis, when only the most refined mechanical pieces stood out.
Condition & Features
