Introduced in 2000, the Medicus was inspired by its cushion-shaped ancestors from the 1930’s. Modelled as the Medicus, the dial features a pulsation meter scale rather than the common tachymeter scale witnessed in most chronograph wristwatches. The desirable pulsation scale allows doctors to calculate a patient’s heartbeat. Introduced as a limited edition of 30 pieces in platinum, the skeletonized chronograph wristwatch is rare. Featuring a skeletonized dial with fully hand-engraved bridges iconic to Vacheron Constantin, the present example is most certainly understated and attractive.
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.
