Pre-Owned Vacheron Constantin
Quai de L'Ile Stainless Steel Automatic
Reference#: 4500S/000A-B196, 41 mm diameter, Stainless Steel
Walk through the streets of Geneva, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by centuries of horological mastery. ...
Nestled along the Rhône River is Quai de l’ile (which translates to "pier on the island"), the beating heart of Swiss watchmaking history, where Vacheron Constantin has been shaping time since 1755. In honor of this historic site, the Quai de L’Ile collection, first introduced in 2008, showcased contemporary styling and modern design elements in addition to its heritage references.
The Quai de L’Ile Self-Winding Reference 4500S blends Vacheron’s unparalleled craftsmanship with contemporary design. Right away, the 41mm stainless steel case sets itself apart. It’s not round but not quite square, a cushion-shaped design that feels both refined and strikingly modern. The satin-brushed and polished surfaces play with the light, shifting seamlessly between elegance and sportiness—but the real magic is on the dial. A deep black sunburst finish gives way to a layered, semi-transparent date display, adding depth, intrigue, and subtle sophistication unlike anything else in its class.
Beneath that refined exterior beats the in-house Caliber 5100, a movement that speaks to Vacheron Constantin’s commitment to precision. With 172 components, a 60-hour power reserve, and a tungsten oscillating weight, it’s as beautiful as it is functional. Flip the watch over, and the sapphire case back offers a front-row seat to the craftsmanship, Côtes de Genève striping, hand-finished bevels, and a movement designed to run as flawlessly as it looks. Paired with a supple dark brown alligator leather strap, this watch is designed for the modern collector who appreciates tradition but refuses to be confined by it. It’s not about following trends; it’s about wearing a statement, a bold yet understated reflection of the very best in Swiss watchmaking. If you are looking for something truly distinctive, this is it.
