Catalogue Essay
The present watch impresses with its bold design. The large tourbillon takes centre stage taking up almost the full bottom half of the dial. It is important to underline the incredible amount of hand finishing found here with the superbly rounded and tapered tourbillon bridge as well as the tourbillon cage in the form of the brand’s signature Maltese Cross -that with its 16 interior angles took close to one whole month of work to finish!
The top part of the dial is reserved for time indications, power reserve and date.
The rose gold hands and indexes atop a multi layered textured black dial give the watch a stunning theatrical appeal.
Vacheron Constantin
Swiss | 1755The 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.
