Vacheron Constantin Calatrava 18k 1950s
Here we have a beautiful example of a time only, 35 mm Yellow Gold Vacheron Constantin from the 1950s. This piece has a white/silver dial with applied gold hour markers and gold hands and beautiful minute track. The attention to detail of the hour markers and elegance of the clean dial is rarely seen done so well.
