At a time when the standard size for a gentleman’s timepiece hovered between 31 and 35mm, the present timepiece can be considered without a doubt an extremely unusual oversize creation by Vacheron Constantin. It’s 36.5mm diameter is further amplified by the large, sloped, polished bezel which boldly frames the breathtaking guilloché dial. A masterpiece of quirkiness, it already conveys some aesthetic canons typical of the 1960s and 1970s, such as the lack of graphical elements in favor of the engine-turned finish combined with a satin outer ring.

A final layer of interest is given by the superior, unmolested and extremely honest condition of the piece - which has developed an enormously charming patina to the outer ring - and the pink gold case: not only this material is much more unusual then the commonly seen yellow gold, but it also imparts remarkable warmth to the ensemble.
