Accompanied by the copy of a letter from Jaeger-LeCoultre, Le Sentier, confirming that probably only 10 examples of this exhibition model were made.

The famous Duoplan lever movement was a land mark innovation in the late 1920s, allowing the winding and hand setting crown to be placed on the reverse of the case, thus enabling the Art Deco designers of the period the production of watches with a very clean and elegant look.
