Vacheron Constantin Royal
VIDEO AVAILABLE
One of the widely recognised ‘Holy Trinity’ of Swiss watchmaking, along with Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, Vacheron & Constantin is the world’s oldest ‘Watch Manufacturer’ and as such, has remained in continuous operation since 1755. More than this, Vacheron & Constantin is the founding father of a spirit of technical excellence which it has made an art form. This is known as ‘Haute Horlogerie’ where Vacheron & Constantin has been in the vanguard for over 260 years. This tradition defines the ‘Manufacture’, evident in the finest quality execution, reflected in a finish which goes far beyond the demands of the ‘Poinçon de Genève’.
Movement
The ultra-high-quality Vacheron & Constantin Calibre 1072/1, 29 jewel automatic chronometer rated movement is utterly beautiful. Put very simply… it is a work of art. Stamped with the ‘Geneve Seal’ with Fausses Côtes, Geneva Wave embellishment, a lever escapement, Gyromax balance, free-sprung Breguet balance spring and an 18ct solid gold rotor with 4 Ruby roller bearings. This is undoubtedly one for the finest automatic movements of its era.
The movement is in superb condition having just completed a full overhaul and service by our vintage Vacheron & Constantin specialist watchmaker. It is running perfectly and has been calibrated in 5 positions to run within +8 seconds per day! This is truly outstanding for any mechanical watch and is no exaggeration – we have checked and confirmed the test results on our electronic watch timegrapher. This movement also has an excellent power reserve of 46 hours when fully wound.
The movement is signed ‘Vacheron & Constantin’, ‘Geneve Swiss’ and ’29 Jewels’ with the Calibre number 1072/1, the movement serial number 643773 and Swiss Geneva hallmarks. The movement serial number dates this watch to 1980.
