Full-Cataloguing
Further to this very distinctive way of displaying the time, the savvy collector will be able to appreciate the artistry of the hand guilloché dial as well as the elegance of the fan shaped lugs. Last but not least, the reverse of the watch unveils another marvel. Seen ticking through the sapphire caseback is the ultra-thin automatic caliber 1120/2, a highly accurate, hand-finished movement with a Gyromax balance and an open worked oscillating weight depicting the Maltese cross. This superb piece can truly be described as a totem of Vacheron Constantin’s savoir-faire.
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.
