Vacheron Constantin - Vacheron Constantin Les Historiques - Chambellan Edition (80 Pieces) w/ Archive - *Unpolished*

Part of the "holy trinity," Vacheron Constantin is known for its exceptional quality in watchmaking, on par with Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet. VC was founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron who is credited with creating the first complication in high-horology. Today VC is the oldest continuously operating watchmaker. In the modern era, Vacheron Constantin may be best suited for understated collectors, since their designs are not overplayed by fashion houses and market hype.

Introduced in 1998, the Chambellan ref. 43039 was a limited edition release to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the cal. 1120. This high-grade and ultra-slim movement was a derivation of the JLC cal. 920 and is displayed prominently in its case with a decorated rotor. It should be noted that this movement was also utilized in the the Patek Philippe Nautilus and AP Royal Oak. Only 200 Chambellan VCs were produced with just 80 pieces in white gold. The dial on this particular piece is our favorite iteration with a stunning off white color and simple Roman numerals. If you've been looking for a special dress watch, this piece brings all of the right elements to the table; high quality, beauty and true rarity. The watch remains in fantastic and unpolished condition, comes with its correct 18k white gold buckle and an extract has been ordered to confirm its provenance.
