The present reference 7375 is part of the iconic Royal Chronometer family. For several decades, Vacheron Constantin presented watches at observatory trials, winning numerous prizes. Consequently, the brand decided to offer watches meeting the stringent requirements of these Observatory trials and in 1907 it launched the first pocket watch of the Royal Chronometer family. Over the course of its history, the Geneva based manufacture’s race for precision was embodied by this family with the addition, in 1953, of wristwatches housing manual wind calibers 1007BS or 1008BS.
The present watch, manufactured in 1968, houses the self-winding caliber K1072/1, a testimony of Vacheron Constantin’s "savoir faire" and attention to detail. The outer segment of the rotor is made of solid 18K yellow gold further adorned by a beautiful guilloché motif and is equipped with a Gyromax balance. Furthermore, the movement is stamped twice with the Geneva seal, proof of its painstaking hand finish. This watch is in superb condition, the vertical satin finish of the case is extremely well preserved and perfectly matches the vertical and horizontal finish of the silver colored dial.
