Catalogue Essay
Designed in 1977, Vacheron Constantin in collaboration with watch designer Jörg Hysek introduced the reference 222 to mark the brand’s 222nd anniversary. Known for its distinct qualities of its fine shaped tonneau case, integrated bracelet and the ultra thin automatic calibre 1121 based on the calibre 920 derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre. The design quickly became one of the brand’s most iconic luxury sports timepiece.
The ref. 46007 also known as the “333” is the successor produced during the 1980s. The most distinctive element is the much rounded octagon case with a 32 diameter wearing at a smaller size on the wrist. The present example features a 18k gold sigma dial indicated by the σ Sigma σ at 6 o’clock and matching gold date aperture, markers throughout. Further charmed on the case back is the engraving “Norbert Ioss 31.1.1986”, believed to be the name of the watchmaker and date of completion by request of the original owner. Preserved in excellent overall condition with very minimal signs of use and wear, the timepiece also comes with the complete original full set accessories.

Vacheron Constantin
Swiss | 1755The world's oldest watch brand in continuous operation since its founding in 1755, Vacheron Constantin was the first watch company to manufacture movements with interchangeable parts beginning in 1839. Vacheron's watches are admired for their Latin-influenced case designs, well-balanced proportions and exquisitely finished movements of the highest quality. The Geneva-based manufacturer is known for their highly complicated masterpieces, including the King Farouk Grand Complication made in 1935, the Tour de l'Ile that was the most complicated serially produced wristwatch when introduced in 2005 and the 57260 — the world’s most complicated watch — made in 2015.
Key vintage models include minute repeating wristwatches such as the references 4261, chronographs such as the references 4178 and 6087 and the oversized Cioccolotone models such as ref. 4737. Collectors also appreciate Vacheron's Chronometer Royal pocket and wristwatches, as well as the '222,' the brand's first luxury sports watch produced from 1977 through 1984.
