Vacheron Constantin 'Disco Volante' Dress Watch

The Holy Trinity of watch brands: Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet 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 watch, a "Disco Volante", dating to the early 1960s, remains in excellent condition throughout. Featuring an 18K white gold ultra-thin textured and stepped case, a silver dial with applied baton indices and a matching pencil handset, the piece is powered by a hand-winding movement. With its timeless and endlessly appealing looks - combined with extensive pedigree, this is a great opportunity to snag an excellent heirloom quality timepiece from one of the very best in the business! This piece has charm to the nines and represents a fantastic value in the world of rare vintage classics.
