LeCoultre 1339 Powermatic 14k 1950s

1950s LeCoultre Powermatic – Gold Innovation with Power Reserve

A refined and historically important LeCoultre from the 1950s, this Powermatic pairs elegant design with technical innovation. Housed in an 14k gold case, it features a beautifully balanced champagne dial with sick hands, hour markers, and the signature power-reserve display.

Inside ticks the automatic bumper Caliber 481 — one of the earliest movements to combine automatic winding with a power-reserve indication, celebrated for its distinctive rotor motion and reliability. At 34 mm, the watch wears with confident vintage presence while remaining perfectly elegant.

A charming and mechanically significant dress watch that captures LeCoultre’s pioneering spirit in mid-century watchmaking.
