Vacheron Constantin - Vacheron Constantin Tank Square Case w/ Fancy Lugs
Worth A Read
Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1755, is the oldest continuously operating Swiss watchmaker. Known for precision and craftsmanship, the brand has long been revered for its luxury timepieces, often worn by royalty and prominent figures.
In the mid-20th century, Vacheron Constantin became renowned for its dress watches, characterized by slim profiles, minimalist dials, and high-quality materials like 18K gold, platinum, and stainless steel. These watches often featured manual-wind movements, such as the Caliber 1003, one of the thinnest movements ever made at just 1.64mm.
Vacheron’s vintage pieces also stand out for their meticulous finishing, including guilloché patterns on dials and polished cases. Today, vintage Vacheron Constantin dress watches are highly collectible for their design, craftsmanship, and historical significance.
