Historical significance

Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon 43 mm Silvered Stainless sits within Jacob & Co.'s Casino Tourbillon line, introduced in 2011. It carries the house codes established since 1986 — stainless steel case, silvered opaline dial and in-house tourbillon, manual-winding — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.

Interesting facts

• The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
• The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.
• Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
