BRAND HISTORY

Mid-Century Elegance, Masterfully Engineered.

Rare 1950s Vacheron Constantin with Guilloché dial, Spillman case & Cal. 477 automatic movement.

This exceptionally rare Vacheron Constantin dress watch from the 1950s represents the golden age of Swiss watchmaking. Housed in a robust 35 mm 18k yellow gold Spillman case, it balances strength with refinement. The dial features an exquisite cream Guilloché pattern, softly aged with a warm golden patina, and accented by elegant hands and applied indices.

Inside ticks the Caliber 477/1, a charming hammer-style automatic movement from Vacheron’s rich history. Combined with its well-proportioned case and deep craftsmanship, this piece is every bit a gentleman’s classic — as rare as it is timeless.

Fitted with a cognac GOLDAMMER leather strap and gold-plated buckle, this watch is a subtle statement of good taste, ideal for the collector seeking Vacheron’s understated elegance.

Vacheron Constantin

Since 1755, Vacheron Constantin has been the quiet cornerstone of Swiss watchmaking — the world’s oldest watch manufacturer in continuous operation. Yet despite that extraordinary lineage, the maison never shouts. It whispers — with elegance, restraint, and an unwavering commitment to horological perfection.

There is something profoundly dignified about a Vacheron Constantin. For over 250 years, it has crafted watches not just for collectors, but for kings, popes, sultans, and visionaries. Napoleon Bonaparte wore one. So did Harry Truman and the Duke of Windsor. But this isn’t a brand about ostentation. It’s about refinement. Purity of design. A kind of timeless confidence that doesn’t beg to be noticed, but rewards those who do.

From the sweeping curves of their ultra-thin dress watches to the mechanical genius behind their high complications, Vacheron Constantin represents the pinnacle of classical Swiss artistry. Every piece they create carries the imprint of tradition, yet never feels frozen in time. Their iconic Maltese cross — born from a gear component used in precise movement regulation — is a symbol of their relentless pursuit of harmony between function and form.

To wear a Vacheron is to embrace a watch that has nothing to prove, yet says everything about you. It is for the collector who has moved beyond trend — someone who values legacy over hype, craftsmanship over clout. Someone who recognizes that true connoisseurship lies not in loud statements, but in quiet excellence.

And in a world that moves fast and shouts louder, a Vacheron Constantin remains calm. Enduring. Certain.

After all, as their motto — unchanged since 1819 — reminds us:

“Do better if possible, and that is always possible.”
