Curved Elegance — A 1950s Vacheron with Black Tie Presence
This Vacheron Constantin Ref. 2020 from the 1950s captures the charm of mid-century design with a bold twist: an elegant tonneau-shaped case in solid 18k yellow gold paired with a deep matte black dial — a combination rarely seen and effortlessly striking.
The dial remains untouched and flawlessly preserved, with slender golden stick hands and markers that stand out in refined contrast. Its sculpted tonneau case, crafted by Ed. & Ch. Nardin, hugs the wrist with sophistication and timeless flair.
Inside, the revered Caliber K1121 — with its 21k gold rotor and Geneva Seal pedigree — ensures this beauty performs as brilliantly as it looks. Elegant, rare, and mechanically impressive, this is a vintage dress watch that carries true collector weight.
