  • Catalogue Essay

    The Vacheron Constantin Overseas is the firm’s answer to the perfect sports watch. First introduced in 1977 via the “222” bearing a stainless steel case with an integrated bracelet, it was launched to celebrate the 222nd anniversary of Vacheron Constantin. Today, the Overseas family has flourished and prospered offering collectors a sports wristwatch with a wide array of materials, dimensions and complications.

    The present Vacheron Constantin Overseas ref. 49150 in stainless steel with a blue dial is a modern iteration of the famed model featuring a chronograph complication with a date. Fitted with a matching blue rubber strap, it is also accompanied by an additional blue crocodile strap giving the owner the opportunity to sport the timepiece underwater or in the boardroom. Complete with its full set of accessories and consigned from the original owner, this is a wonderful and iconic timepiece to acquire for daily wear.

  • 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.
