The Reference 7391 Q is a striking example of Vacheron Constantin’s design experimentation during the late 20th century. Crafted in yellow gold and dating to circa 1980, the present watch features a cushion-shaped case with an integrated bracelet, lending it a strong, architectural presence on the wrist. The proportions are balanced and deliberate, with the seamless transition from case to bracelet underscoring the manufacture’s attention to form and wearability during this period.
The watch is further distinguished by its jade dial, a highly unusual and seldom-seen material in Vacheron Constantin’s production. Naturally varied in tone and texture, the stone dial imparts a unique character to each example, offering a subtle yet compelling contrast against the warmth of the yellow gold case. References such as the present example illustrate the brand’s willingness to explore unconventional materials and forms, and remain of particular interest to collects ors seeking distinctive and rarely encountered designs from the era.
