  • Catalogue Essay

    Vacheron Constantin's Overseas line has long been known for its sporty yet elegant interpretation of the luxury sports watch concept. With the release of the Overseas Tourbillon, the firm introduced a high complication model that pushes the boundaries of haute horology with their superb craftsmanship and mechanical prowess.

    Powered by the cal. 2160, the brand's first in-house manufactured self-winding tourbillon movement, it is equipped with a tourbillon carriage that rotates once per minute which aims to enhance the movement's precision. The entire movement is visible through its sapphire caseback, continuing the brand's focus on transparency in the current Overseas generation.

    While large on paper, the 42.5mm watch wears comfortably on the wrist thanks to its slim profile and quick-release strap system that provides the option to swap out the heavier bracelet for lighter options. The addition of a tourbillon complication to the sporty Overseas evokes some paradox, though it demonstrates Vacheron's ability to engineer and design advanced mechanical timepieces.

    Offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, the present example from 2020 will be a fine addition for any collection, made to be worn on any occasion.

  • 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.
