Catalogue Essay
• The Overseas traces its DNA to the legendary ref. 222, designed in 1977 by Jorg Hysek for the brand’s 222nd anniversary. With its angular case, notched bezel recalling the Maltese cross, and integrated bracelet, the 222 presaged the rise of the sports-luxury genre alongside Gérald Genta’s creations for Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe. Relaunched in 1996 as the Overseas, the line quickly became a cornerstone of Vacheron Constantin’s contemporary offering.
• The present ref. 47040 represents the second generation of the Overseas, introduced in the mid-2000s and updated with subtle refinements. The 42mm case is crafted entirely in 18K pink gold, lending an unmistakable sense of opulence while retaining the robust, water-resistant profile that defines the model.
• The dial, executed in a warm grey tone, offers excellent legibility with applied luminous indexes and hands, while a discreet date aperture at 3 o’clock adds functionality.
• Presented in excellent condition and accompanied by all of its accessories, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful execution of the Overseas.

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.
