  • Catalogue Essay

    Introduced in 1996, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas is a direct descendant of the 222. It has retained the iconic tonneau shaped case and Maltese cross inspired bezel, but it has extended the design to incorporate a metal integrated bracelet, accentuating the watch’s fluid case lines and heightening its sporty elegance. In 2016, the brand introduced the present reference 4500V, featuring a more refined design by Vincent Kaufmann.

    Available in either stainless steel or pink gold, the reference 4500V is equipped with an attractive and conveniently interchangeable bracelet, delivered with accompanying crocodile and rubber straps. The present example features an appealing sunburst blue dial and date indication at the 3 o’clock. Powered by the in-house self-winding caliber 5100, the movement is stamped with the Geneva seal as a mark of excellence. It beats at 28,800 vph with two mainspring barrels and a power reserve of 60 hours.

    Offered in great condition, and accompanied by Vacheron Constantin warranty, additional straps and presentation box, the present watch is the perfect watch for everyday wear and is destined for the collections of discerning enthusiasts who appreciate Overseas' enduring excellence.

  • 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.
