Description:
Throughout its history, Vacheron Constantin has consistently distinguished itself through creativity and innovation, although this aspect of the manufacture is often overshadowed by its more widely celebrated technical achievements. The present watch is a compelling example of the bold design language that flourished during the 1970s, a decade in which the boundaries between fine watchmaking and jewellery design became increasingly blurred.
Crafted in yellow gold, the watch features an elegant tonneau-shaped case that perfectly reflects the aesthetic codes of the period. The black lacquered dial provides a striking contrast to the warm tones of the gold and is adorned with applied baton hour markers and a discreet date aperture at 3 o’clock.
What truly sets this timepiece apart, however, is its remarkable integrated yellow-gold bracelet. Executed with an intricate woven, textile-like texture, it demonstrates an exceptional level of craftsmanship and creates a fluid, supple feel on the wrist.
Powering the watch is an automatic movement, combining everyday functionality with the refined finishing and mechanical excellence for which Vacheron Constantin has long been renowned.
