This Le Coultre ladies’ watch is one of the most luxurious women’s watches made by Le Coultre around 1900. The rare feature of this case design is that there are small rose-cut diamonds between the pearls on the back of the case. A similar watch was offered in Geneva auction in 2010, but in the simplified version without diamonds.
