Condition

We have for sale an exceptional vintage Vacheron & Constantin Geneve dating back to 1982. The best way to desctribe this watch is understated elegance. It oozes sophistication but isn't shouting it out. As soon as you see it you want it! It is the perfect gentleman's dress watch, refined and of a good size that will suit most wrists. What's more, this one comes with its original paperwork which includes the guarantee booklet along with a Vacheron pouch. The watch is constructed of 18ct yellow and white gold with a champagned coloured dial that has a light vertical brushed look. The elegant and thin roman numerals are perfectly proportioned for a dial of this size all within a beautifully presented case and the white gold front almost gives the image of a picture frame against the 18ct yellow gold which is sandwiched within the white gold case. The watch sits on an aged but perfectly proportioned strap that retains an 18ct yellow gold buckle.  The watch is in excellent condition for its age, running perfectly in every way. When you see the quality of the movement you can see why Vacheron was one of the best watchmakers of its age. Overall a beautiful watch that comes with the provenance you would want. The perfect present for someone this Xmas!
