In a bold move, Vacheron Constantin introduced their inaugural modern tourbillon wristwatch in the early 1990s. The result of their efforts was the exquisite caliber 1760, limited to just 300 pieces. A select number of these remarkable movements were cased in yellow gold or platinum as part of the maison's prestigious "Les Complications" collection, designated reference 30050.

Measuring a striking yet harmonious 38mm in diameter, the case's powerful elegance is enhanced by an exhibition back that reveals the meticulous movement within. With two mainspring barrels, the immaculately finished tourbillon cage is crafted in the shape of Vacheron’s iconic Maltese Cross emblem, a symbol used since 1780.

The dial is created to exacting standards, showcasing a delicate hand-guilloché pattern alongside applied Roman numerals and faceted dagger hands hour markers. Accompanied by its warranty and presentation box, this example is preserved in excellent overall condition, with the case developing a beautiful layer of patina due to its inactivity. This yellow gold piece encapsulates a pivotal milestone for a maison renowned for producing the world’s most complicated watches.
