Info: |
Some interesting history (ripped off from Hodinkee – sorry guys but you write better than anyone else!!) Vacheron Constantin watches represent some of the best value vintage watches in today's pre-owned market. There's a lot to love: a storied heritage, unique designs, and rarity. In fact, here's something you might not know: from the 1940s through the 1960s (and possibly through the early 1970s), Vacheron had a policy of producing at most 24 examples of one reference configuration with a particular dial. If the dial or case metal was changed, they would produce no more than another 24. That's why when you start looking at vintage Vacheron watches, you rarely see more than a few of any particular reference with a particular dial. |
