Introduction
Launched in 2014 as a rare variant with only just 800 pieces released, the Jaeger Le Coultre Geophysic ref. Q8008520 is a classically styled watch that speaks to JLC's modern-day elegance and iconic heritage as a watchmaker. A tribute to the 1958 variant of the Geophysic, itself a celebratory 125th-anniversary model, the ref. Q8008520 features a round 38.5mm stainless steel case, a gently textured white crosshair dial with rose gold applied Arabic numerals marking 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock and aged luminous sword-shaped hands that combine to pack this beautify with vintage style, character and intrigue. Fitted to a black alligator leather strap, this stunning watch will certainly look the part as a casual piece thanks to its modest 38.5mm size, or even as a formal option with its understated aesthetic and beautiful precious metal construction. Filled with history, beauty and JLC’s watchmaking prowess, the Geophysic 1958 is quite the watch indeed.

TIMING MACHINE READOUT
This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.
Condition
The watch is in overall excellent condition. The steel case has some light marks, as does the case back, which retains very crisp engravings and detailing. The polished bezel shows some light scratches and a couple of small nicks. The dial is excellent, with only minor damage visible in the “A” and “D” of “SWISS MADE” at the lower edge. The hands are very clean. The watch is fitted with a black Jaeger-LeCoultre alligator strap and a steel pin buckle, both in excellent condition. Comes complete with box and papers, warranty, booklets, loupe, and tag.
Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.
Our Perspective
Elegant on the wrist, rare, wonderfully stylish, and filled with watchmaking prowess and heritage, the JLC Geophysic 1958 has every component required to make a splendid addition to any collection.
