Vacheron Constantin, one of the watch brands most appreciated by fans for its desire to always improve. From 1755, years when Jean-Marc Vacheron founded the company in Geneva, the firm has experimented and given life to high-level innovations such as the world’s first horological complication (1770) while nine years later it designed the first engine-turned dial. In 1819 firstly appeared the double name of Vacheron & Constantin but only in 1970, the company officially changed its name to Vacheron Constantin. Around 10 years earlier, the company gave birth to a nice example of watch, with Calatrava-style case, produced in white gold with screw back now here at auction. The whole conditions of the watch are absolutely nice, the silver dial is immaculate, with applied very rare and precious diamond indexes composed of 8 brilliant cut and 4 baguette cut diamonds. This humble Calatrava is arguably the quintessential Vacheron dress watch.
