Catalogue Essay
- To mark its 260th anniversary in 2015, Vacheron Constantin released two exceptional platinum watches within its Métiers d’Art collection, each showcasing intricate hand-engraving on both the dial and movement—an homage to the brand’s long-standing dedication to haute horlogerie.
- Inspired by classical Greek architecture, flowing acanthus leaves are sculpted entirely by hand, with a master engraver spending ten days to carve each motif. Working with tolerances as fine as 0.35mm, and with the same techniques as engraved hunting rifles use, the result is a display of extraordinary depth, delicacy, and artistic skill.
- Housed in a 39mm platinum case, the present time-only reference features the manual-wind calibre 4400, framed by a grey minute track and revealed further through a sapphire caseback. Offered in excellent condition, it’s a rare and poetic expression of artisanal watchmaking—ideal for collectors with an eye for detail and craftsmanship.

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.
