Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1950s.
The case and bracelet are of rose gold which has a subtle colour to it.
It is quite stunning with champagne coloured dial which is in perfect condition having been fully restored. A new glass has been fitted and the case and bracelet professionally cleaned and polished so it is absolutely pristine.
The calibre 153 manual winding movement is an absolute gem, sparkling clean and in like new condition, this is a movement from the golden age of Swiss watchmaking.
As you would expect from Vacheron Constantin the watch is fully marked on the dial and movement, the bracelet and case are fully hallmarked and the bracelet.
Vacheron Constantin are one of the most exclusive makers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance which resonates class.
The watch case width measures 19mm not including the crown and the bracelet is 11mm wide.
It fits a maximum wrist size of 173mm but this can easily be reduced by any competent jeweller and it has a three position clasp.
Overall this watch is in beautiful condition and looks as if it was hardly ever worn, it would certainly make a perfect gift.
This watch has been fully and professionally overhauled, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.
The watch is stripped down to its component parts and each part is examined under a microscope for signs of wear, any worn parts are replaced with genuine manufacturers original parts. every part is then thoroughly cleaned in a 3 stage ultrasonic cleaning process.
The movement is then fully assembled using manufacturer approved oils and lubricants and is carried out in a clean room environment. The watch movement is then checked and adjusted for accurate time keeping. The cases are polished and the watch sealed.
Obviously this is not a cheap or quick process which is why our watches are sometimes a little more expensive than others but you can be assured our watches will give reliable and dependable service and will not require any further attention for many years.
