It is distinct from the 2015 Van Gogh Reverso à Eclipse, which featured Sunflowers. Specialist watch coverage reported four self-portrait watches, with platinum cases and manually wound Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 849.
Which Van Gogh painting is on this Reverso?
The 2016 edition’s concealed miniature reproduces Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait as a Painter, painted in 1887–88. It was the second Van Gogh-themed Reverso à Eclipse series reported by specialist watch publications. The earlier 2015 edition showed Sunflowers, so references to a Van Gogh Reverso do not necessarily describe the same watch. Hodinkee’s 2016 coverage and WatchProSite’s 2016 report identify the self-portrait edition.
How does the Reverso à Eclipse reveal the miniature?
The watch combines the Reverso’s reversible case with a separate shutter mechanism over the dial. With the shutters closed, the miniature is hidden; operating a side control opens them to reveal the enamel painting. The artwork is therefore not simply displayed on the dial at all times—it is designed as a concealed feature.
What are the reported specifications and edition size?
Specialist coverage from 2016 describes the self-portrait model with a platinum case and manually wound Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 849. The miniature is enamel. The edition was reported as four pieces. These are historical secondary-source reports; an official specification sheet for this exact model was not located in the cited coverage, so the details should be understood as reported rather than as independently confirmed current manufacturer specifications.

How does it differ from the 2015 Sunflowers edition?
| Edition | Artwork | Reported case | Reported production | Other reported details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 Van Gogh Reverso à Eclipse | Sunflowers | Pink gold | Five pieces | Reference Q37724EL; caliber 849; 35-hour power reserve. Reported by WatchProSite in 2016. |
| 2016 self-portrait Reverso à Eclipse | Self-Portrait as a Painter | Platinum | Four pieces | Manually wound caliber 849, as reported by Hodinkee and WatchProSite in 2016; a power reserve for this edition is not stated in those reports. |
The 35-hour power reserve and reference Q37724EL belong to the earlier Sunflowers watch, not the self-portrait edition. The available reports do not establish a reference number or power reserve for the 2016 model.
What was its reported price, and what is it worth now?
Hodinkee reported a launch-era retail price of €101,000 in 2016. That figure is historical, not a current asking price or valuation. The available evidence does not establish a dependable present-day market value or confirm that a watch is currently available for sale. A mutable marketplace listing is not evidence of a completed sale or fair market value. Marketplace listings can change and should not be treated as completed-sale records.

Which sources cover this exact watch?
The 2016 reports from Hodinkee and WatchProSite discuss the self-portrait Reverso à Eclipse. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s later Reverso Tribute Enamel Hidden Treasures article concerns a different collection and should not be used to verify this à Eclipse edition’s specifications.
