Catalogue Essay
- World Time wristwatches first appeared in the 1930s with Louis Cottier’s ingenious mechanism, using a rotating city ring to display 24 time zones. Vacheron Constantin, one of the oldest watchmakers, introduced its first World Time wristwatch in 1946—later sold under ref. 6213 in 1957—the very first self-winding world time wristwatch ever made.
- The present ref. 86060, launched in 2015, embodies this legacy with an elegant pink gold case and a striking world map dial in shades of blue. At its core beats the in-house calibre 2460 WT, a patented self-winding movement capable of displaying an extraordinary 37 time zones, including those offset by half- and quarter-hours from UTC.
- Sophisticated yet robust, this World Time is preserved in excellent condition and offered complete with its full set of accessories—an exceptional opportunity for collectors of Vacheron Constantin’s most cosmopolitan complication.

Provenance
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.
