Catalogue Essay
The present bracelet watch is inspired by models created by Vacheron in the 1950's and it epitomizes stylistic simplicity. The automatic movement powers the perpetual calendar, moon phases and leap year indicator. The subsidiary dials focus on essential harmonious proportions that maximize the legibility of the complications.
Enhanced with a diamond-set bezel and exceptionally crafted integral bracelet, the watch is preserved in very good condition.
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.
