Vacheron Constantin

Ref. 4737

Cioccolatone

江詩丹頓,精細及罕有,18K黃金特大自動上弦腕錶,配中心秒針,“Cioccolatone”,型號4737,1953年製

Affectionately nicknamed 'Cioccolatone' by collectors due to its resemblance to a square of chocolate, the stepped, square and curved case of the reference 4737 could only have been the brainchild of Vacheron Constantin.

Often considered to be the more flamboyant of the two historical Geneva based brands, Vacheron Constantin's Cioccolatone was made in different versions, with or without date, with different movements and also with the extremely sought after full calendar with moonphase model.

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.
