  • Catalogue Essay

    Launched in 1996, the Overseas collection by Vacheron Constantin was a direct descendant of the groundbreaking 222 introduced in 1977, inspired by the spirit of an active lifestyle and travel. The Overseas quickly became a cornerstone for the brand retaining the 222’s tonneau-shaped case and integrated bracelet accentuating the fluid case lines and heightening its sporty elegance. In 2016, Vacheron Constantin reimagined this flagship line by instilling a sense of modernity and luxury with a more refined design by Vincent Kaufmann.

    The present boutique exclusive Vacheron Constantin 4500V is a striking example of this updated combination of luxury and modernity, featuring an 18K pink gold case and bracelet exuding sophistication. Its stunning blue dial, enhanced by a lacquered finish, creates a mesmerizing, eye-catching shine. Despite its all-gold construction, the watch maintains a sleek profile with a thickness of just 10.7mm, offering a sporty yet elegant aesthetic. With its innovative and convenient interchangeable strap system, the watch can be enjoyed on leather, rubber, and gold, providing bespoke looks to suit one’s lifestyle.

    Presented here in excellent condition and directly from the collection of the original owner, this sought-after example retains all of its original accessories from when it was purchased in 2022.

  • 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.
