Vacheron Constantin - Chronograph 4072 Enamel Sector Dial Very Rare
Vacheron & Constantin Chronograph reference 4072, this reference saw production from 1938 until the 1970s. It saw different configurations and production changes, such as case materials which were yellow gold, pink gold and steel. The present specimen is part of the very first production batch of the reference 4072 as it bears the caliber 295 (based on the Valjoux 22) which is believed to have been equipped to the first 27 pieces produced. Furthermore the dial does not comply with the usual layouts of the reference 4072, as it does not have applied indexes or logo, instead it presents a beautiful 3 tone sector layout dial with enamelled details. The case was made by master case maker Antoine Gerlach as the inside caseback is marked with the Genevan Key n° 4.
