Braided Gold. Architectural Minimalism. - Vacheron Constantin 7457 Rectangular
This is one of the rarest and most compelling Vacheron Constantin timepieces we've ever had the pleasure to offer. The reference 7457 is a study in design harmony — pairing an 18k white gold rectangular case with a beautifully integrated braided bracelet, seamlessly unified in texture and tone.
The linen-textured silver dial features slim baton indices, an understated VC typographic signature, and a classic stick handset — all original and perfectly preserved. Powered by the ultra-thin Vacheron Constantin Caliber 1003, this piece not only wears like a sculpture but also houses one of the most prestigious hand-wound movements in horology.
With elegant proportions and a unique architectural presence, this is an exceedingly rare collector's piece — a whisper of 1970s haute horlogerie.
