Jaeger LeCoultre Ellipse Automatic Ref. 5002.42 – 1970s Ultra-Thin Icon with Striking Blue Dial

We are proud to present this remarkable 1970s Jaeger LeCoultre Ellipse, a sophisticated and boldly designed timepiece that encapsulates the innovation and elegance of the era. With its captivating oval case, deep blue sunburst dial, and ultra-thin automatic movement, this watch is a celebration of both form and function.

Historical Significance & Design

The Ellipse line emerged during a golden age of design exploration in the 1970s, where watchmakers departed from traditional round cases in pursuit of distinctive aesthetics. The ref. 5002.42 is a prime example, featuring a beautifully sculpted oval steel case measuring 30.8mm in width and 39mm lug-to-lug—an ideal proportion that wears gracefully on the wrist.

Its bold, minimalist design is punctuated by the vibrant blue dial, a testament to Jaeger LeCoultre’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation during the quartz crisis, when only the most refined mechanical pieces stood out.

Condition & Features

Dial: The rich, deep blue sunburst dial is in perfect condition—completely spotless and highly reflective. The color shifts beautifully under different lighting conditions, enhancing its visual depth.

Case: Brushed stainless steel elliptical case in excellent vintage condition, showcasing elegant curvature and sharp geometry. Dimensions: 31mm diameter x 39mm lug-to-lug.

Crown: Retains its original Jaeger LeCoultre-signed crown—crisp and fully functional.

Crystal: Original sapphire glass in perfect condition, free of scratches or blemishes.

Movement: Powered by the ultra-thin Jaeger LeCoultre Calibre 900—an automatic movement with date, celebrated for its elegance and slim profile. Professionally inspected and offered with a 1-year mechanical warranty.

Strap: Mounted on a brand-new hand-made brown leather strap, crafted in Belgium. The warm tone of the strap complements the dial’s cool hues for a well-balanced vintage look.

Very nice kit: Beware it is NOT heavy duty plumbing pipe though!
Size: side table leg
I want to give this kit a high rating, but I need to address the "truth in advertising" bit since there may be an important disconnect between what you think you are getting and what actually comes in the box. Black plumbing used for shelving or table legs is part of an important niche in interior design. I like the industrial loft look myself and have a variety of glass, steel, and masonry elements in my home. This kit fits that look and provides plenty of "strength" for most domestic uses, like shelves or coffee tables. But they are NOT "industrial pipe" or "maximum durability pipe." Note the phrase "cast iron finish feet," which together with the other claims might lead you to think these are cast plumbing fittings. They are NOT! The feet and flanges feel like electrical conduit fittings, and the pipe sections are likely aluminum. They might be electrical or they might be multi-use, lightweight pipe. While all this might lead you to think that you're getting a truly retro, heavy-duty pipe kit made of black plumbing pipe, you are not. But, does it matter? Depends. I find the lighter pipe's smooth finish a nice "tone-down" from the rough plumbing look. All together, this kit provides plenty of strength for most furniture and the rustic pipe look, but with a nicer, lighter finish. To me that is a plus--this is a very nice kit and costs less that if you'd pieced it together from real plumbing parts (I priced it out to compare), and looks retro but cleaner. I knew what to expect because while I got this kit free on Vine, I had purchased a nearly identical kit from another seller last year. So, I'm giving it 5 stars for what it actually is and for the price, JUST BE AWARE THE NARRATIVE IS MISLEADING. Which is unfortunate because just like some people might want the heavier pipe, I'm betting more would be attracted to the look with a cleaner, lighter feel.

Great info TINY BOOK
Format: Paperback
There’s small, and then there’s this book. It’s true that this is a pocket size book. Look at the dimensions and then imagine 6pt font. Giving it four stars because info is great- succinct, useful, and up to date! But taking away one star because it should come with a magnifying lens.
