1960s Vacheron Constantin screwback case in pink gold
As the oldest watch brand in the world, in continuous operation since its foundation in 1755, Vacheron Constantin was the first watch company to manufacture movements with interchangeable parts as early as 1839. Vacheron watches are admired for their Latin-influenced cases, well-balanced proportions and exquisitely finished movements of the highest quality.
The Geneva manufacture is known for its highly complicated masterpieces, including the Grande Complication du Roi Farouk, the Tour de l’Ile, and masterpieces such as the traditional line, the 222, the Overseas or the Calatrava.
This nice 3-hands dress-watch in 18kt pink gold is the perfect demonstration of how to create a sophisticated masterpiece using the simplest of watchmaking arts. Its simplicity is its biggest asset, making it the pefect dress watch, with its 34mm pink gold case, slim profile, thin hands and minimalist dial.
Inside the extremely sharp 34mm case comes a K1002 movement, one of the best and most reliable mechanisms of the era.
