The present timepiece by Vacheron Constantin that exemplifies mid-century design excellence. Marked by its unusual lugs coupled and pink gold accents on the dial, the present timepiece is further distinguished by its case maker Wenger, identifiable by the Geneva Key 1 stamp on the inside case back.
Established in 1912, the manufacture of Wenger is one the most prestigious case makers who supplied the most established Swiss brands and who were behind the intricate case architecture of the first Jaeger-LeCoultre Reversos, Vacheron Constantin Teardrop Lugs, and the C-shaped Omega Constellations.
One of the only examples to come to market, the present timepiece is a rare opportunity to include this elusive reference for collectors of unusually cased timepieces.
