Vacheron Constantin - "Tank UFO" Oversize Gilt
A highly rare and beautiful Circa 1960s Vacheron Constantin "Tank UFO" in 18K yellow gold.
Distinguished by its oversized (or Jumbo) dimensions for the era, this exceptional timepiece houses the extra-plate Mechanical Cal. 1003, the former "Thinest Movement in the World", and a true marvel of fine watchmaking.
Measuring at a whoping 31 x 35 mm, the case feels substantial, yet still remaining elegant by its mere 7mm thinness. What sets this watch apart even further is its stunning and extra-hard-to-find "Gilt" dial, which is a particularly rare configuration for the modèle. A true standout piece in any collection.
Condition analysis:
The dial and indices look to have been retouched in the past.
The case retains its hallmarks.
Dimensions: 31x35 mm
