Catalogue Essay
Having become an icon of Vacheron Constantin, the Overseas is one of the most important models released by the firm. Taking its inspiration from the famed 222 designed by Jorg Hysek in 1977 to celebrate the 222nd anniversary of the firm. In 1999, the firm released their first Overseas model featuring a chronograph complication via the ref. 49140. Designed in a spirit of casual elegance and comfort enhanced by their interchangeable strap/bracelet system, Overseas timepieces are the perfect daily companions.

The present Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph ref. 49152 featuring a handsome 42mm stainless steel case with an engraved caseback of a ‘Greek Trireme’ was released as a limited edition of 100 pieces for the Greek market. Paired tastefully with a deep blue guilloché dial with black registers and white indices and hands, not only does it exude a sporty appeal, but also enhances the legibility of the dial.

Preserved in attractive overall condition and complete with its full set of accessories along with an additional alligator strap to cater towards different occasions, this wonderful Overseas Chronograph from circa 2013 is an ideal choice to start off the summer.

Vacheron Constantin

Swiss | 1755
The 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.
