Introduced in 2015, and offered only in platinum, the Cornes de Vache from Vacheron Constantin’s Historiques collection is based on the iconic vintage reference 6087, manufactured in 1955. The moniker ‘Cornes de Vache’, meaning ‘bull’s horns’, reflects the flamboyant and powerfully curved lugs, present on both the vintage and this modern iteration. Twenty-eight examples in yellow gold are known to exist of the original reference 6087 - the only vintage Vacheron Constantin with a screw-down case back and round chronograph pushers. It was in production for only about a decade, and was the last chronograph to be manufactured by Vacheron until 1989.

Vacheron Constantin offered a stainless-steel model like the present watch in 2019 as a sportier timepiece compared to the platinum and 18K pink gold versions. The Cornes de Vache is emblematic of the brand’s combined approach for technical craftsmanship and aesthetic design that is functional and artistic. The “horn” shaped lugs are instantly recognizable and still amazes the wearer as it did when first released in 1955.  Much like the original reference 6087, the ornate architecture of the case complements the simplicity of the two-register layout perfectly, creating an elegant and classic profile.

The present watch is offered by its original owner, and is extremely well-preserved with hardly any signs of wear.
