The defining fact about this watch is the movement inside it. Calibre 101 was introduced in 1929 and is still the smallest mechanical movement ever put into series production — under a gram, and small enough that assembling one is done by a handful of watchmakers with the work held under magnification throughout. Elizabeth II wore a 101 to her coronation in 1953.

How do I check a Jaeger-LeCoultre Q2872201 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
