The Vacheron Constantin 35202 “Prestige de la France” captures the refined character of 1970s watchmaking at its very best. With its 18k yellow gold case, clean lines, and balanced proportions, this model reflects the quiet confidence and timeless design language that have long defined Vacheron Constantin.

At its heart beats the ultra-thin manual caliber 1150/B. Its slim slightly curved architecture allows the watch to sit effortlessly on the wrist — elegant, precise, and beautifully finished, as one would expect from the maison’s golden era.

The golden dial with applied gold indexes offers a calm and harmonious appearance, complemented by a finely matched original VC leather strap that enhances its understated charm.

The name Prestige de la France refers to a national distinction awarded to Vacheron Constantin in 1972, recognizing the brand’s excellence in craftsmanship and design — a fitting title for a watch that so naturally combines technical finesse and timeless aesthetics.

A sophisticated piece for those who appreciate subtlety, heritage, and enduring quality.

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.”
