Watch Description
Exceptional complication reinvented. This is the promise of the new Reverso Tribute Chronograph, which features an hour-minute display on its two dials with contrasting and complementary styles. The front dial soberly displays the aesthetic codes of the Tribute line: gadroons, “railroad” minute track, applied hour-markers and Dauphine hands stand out against the sunray black dial. Once turned over on its cradle, the watch reveals a meticulously crafted open-worked reverse that unveils every detail of the new Manufacture Calibre 860 and the formidable mechanics of the retrograde chronograph: hour markers and minute track that seem to float above the movement, blue hands, bevelled bridges, Côtes de Genève… in leather or bi-material (leather/canvas), two interchangeable straps in Casa Fagliano design provide the watch with either a natural or a more sophisticated look

# Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph Gold Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph in 18K pink gold exemplifies Art Deco elegance with its signature reversible rectangular case, featuring a silver-opaline dial with blued hands, triple chronograph subdials, and small seconds, tailored for the discerning collector or formal occasion-goer who appreciates haute horology heritage and personalization potential on the blank reverse side, powered by the in-house manual-wind Calibre 860 offering a 52-hour power reserve.
## Overall Watch Rating: 9.3/10.0
**Rarity Metric (9.9/10.0)** - At nearly $60,000 MSRP with ultra-limited production, it rivals the exclusivity of Patek Philippe limited editions.
**Brand Metric (9.6/10.0)** - Jaeger-LeCoultre's storied prestige and low-volume craftsmanship benchmark against A. Lange & Söhne in high-end luxury.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.7/10.0)** - The iconic reversible case and refined opaline dial with guilloché accents surpass most dress chronographs like the Vacheron Patrimony.
**Material Metric (9.8/10.0)** - Pink gold construction with sapphire crystal and exceptional hand-finishing outshines even Rolex precious metal models.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.5/10.0)** - The patented 1931 Reverso concept plus column-wheel chronograph elevates it above standard luxury icons like the Omega Speedmaster.
**Movement Metric (9.7/10.0)** - In-house Calibre 860's 292 components, 27 jewels, and haute finishing compete with the finest from F.P. Journe.
**Versatility Metric (8.8/10.0)** - Reversible personalization and chronograph functionality bridge formal and casual better than rigid dress watches like the Cartier Tank.
**Complications Metric (8.5/10.0)** - The precise column-wheel chronograph with 30-minute and 12-hour counters performs on par with IWC Portugieser chronos.
**Functions Metric (8.0/10.0)** - Core timekeeping with small seconds and chronograph delivers reliably, akin to high-end manual chronographs from Zenith.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 5.2
## WM Collector Grade: B+
## Performance Insights: Excels in rarity, materials, design, and brand prestige while offering strong movement and complications; provides fair value slightly above its $48,000 secondary market price versus an implied $42,000.
## TPS Interpretation: Solid Value: This watch delivers exceptional luxury and heritage at a price aligned with its elite performance metrics.
