Vacheron Constantin 18k Thin Case Dress Watch

The Holy Trinity of watch brands: Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin. Generally less understood than either of its respected compatriots, Vacheron Constantin has a legacy of producing some of the very finest high horology complications in history - and some of the loveliest. Sports watches came later to VC, as pressure from the new 'Sports Luxury' category introduced in the early 1970s forced the storied brand to evolve - but historically, classically styled dress pieces is where Vacheron cut their teeth. This particular example, a Reference 7811, dates to the 1960s and features a 33mm thin 18k yellow gold case with a polished bezel and satin champagne dial with printed Roman indices and matching 'pencil' handset. Powered by Vacheron's hand-cranking Calibre K 1014 movement, it comes fitted to a lovely period aftermarket 18k woven bracelet with locking clasp. With its timeless looks and Vacheron's extensive pedigree, this is a great opportunity to snag an excellent heirloom-quality vintage timepiece from one of the very best in the business!
