This absolutely stunning Vacheron & Constantin Dress Watch, crafted in 18ct rose gold and thought to date from the 1940s or 1950s, represents the finest in vintage Swiss elegance. Recently serviced and fitted with a new strap, it is in exceptional condition throughout. The silver-coloured dial is crisp and clean, featuring a subsidiary seconds hand, while the 34mm rose gold case shows barely any marks despite its age.
The highlight lies in its manual wind movement — beautifully intricate and running with superb accuracy at just +10 seconds per day after servicing, with healthy amplitude. Movement serial number begins 454XXX.
A new black Vacheron & Constantin leather strap completes the watch, with a snap caseback adding to its refined slimness. While the crown is thought to be a replacement, the overall originality and quality of this timepiece make it an outstanding collector’s piece.
