PROPERTY OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER
Unveiled in 2022, the Overseas Tourbillon Skeleton reference 6000V/210T-B935 represented a landmark achievement for Vacheron Constantin, combining the Maison’s expertise in open-working and high complications with the contemporary sporting character of the Overseas collection. Executed entirely in Grade 5 titanium, from its case and bezel to its integrated bracelet, the reference offers exceptional lightness.
Measuring 42.5mm in diameter and only 10.4mm thick, its sapphire dial reveals the intricately open-worked, anthracite grey NAC-treated caliber 2160 SQ. Measuring an exceptionally slender 5.65mm, this self-winding movement employs a peripheral gold oscillating weight to preserve an unobstructed view of its architecture, while offering an impressive 80-hour power reserve. The Maltese cross-inspired tourbillon carriage completes one rotation per minute and simultaneously serves as the running-seconds display, with the entire movement certified by the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva.
Offered as a complete set with all of its original accessories, the present example is accompanied by additional calfskin leather and rubber straps, allowing effortless changes through Vacheron Constantin’s ingenious interchangeable system. The present watch marks the first appearance of the titanium Overseas Tourbillon Skeleton at a Phillips auction, presenting collectors with a rare opportunity to acquire one of the Maison’s most technically accomplished and visually arresting modern sports watches.
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.
