Hi,
could you please give me some info on this watch that seems to be an ultrathin in 18ct gold with caliber 818? I would date it to late 60s. There is no engraving inside the case back, which I find weird. On the outter part of the case back there is the usual EJ hallmark and an eagle head. The diameter of the watch is around 34 mm and it is in lovely shape. Many thanks in advance. Louis.

It's a French made case for the French market, the insides were very frequently unsigned.

Thanks a bunch Zaf.
That is a bit what I thought. Just wondered why no Jaeger or Lecoultre engraving inside.
Any idea on production date?

Dates to approximately 1962. The French case is worth less and I do not have a recent price point on it, so maybe something in the $1500-1700 range.
