Vacheron Constantin 'TV Case' Dress Watch

The Holy Trinity of watch brands: Rolex, 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 watch, a gorgeous 34mm x 29mm 'TV case' piece executed in 18K white gold and dating to the 1980s, features a stunning gray dial with horizontal striping, applique hour indexes, and a 'pencil' handset. This piece is accompanied by a matching white gold pin buckle with the Vacheron logo etched on it. With its classic 80s aesthetic - combined with extensive pedigree, this is a great opportunity to snag an excellent heirloom quality manually-wound timepiece from one of the very best in the business!
