  • Catalogue Essay

    - The present stainless steel chronograph wristwatch pays tribute to the legendary "Cornes de Vache"model that Vacheron created in the 1950s, most notably with the reference 6087. The moniker ‘Cornes de Vache’, meaning ‘bull’s horns’, reflects the flamboyant and powerfully curved lugs, present on both the vintage and this modern iteration. With its 38.5mm case, it has a decidedly modern appearance and size, bringing the Vacheron Constantin model into the modern era.

    -The present example cased in stainless steel gives a sporty update to the classic gentleman's chronograph wristwatch.

    -Offered in barely worn condition, it is furthermore accompanied by its Certificate of Origin, Guarantee Certificate dated October 06, 2019, product literature, presentation box and outer packaging,

  • Artist Biography

    Vacheron Constantin

    Swiss • 1755

    The 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.
