Vacheron Constantin 222 Two Tone 46003 1980s

Vacheron Constantin 222 Two Tone Ref. 46003 – 1980s

A true icon of the integrated bracelet era.

Released in 1977 for Vacheron Constantin’s 222nd anniversary, the 222 was the maison’s refined answer to the new wave of luxury sports watches. Designed by Jörg Hysek, this two-tone Ref. 46003 from the 1980s blends bold steel architecture with warm 18k yellow gold accents — embodying the decade’s spirit of innovation, elegance, and sportiness.

The 33.5 mm case flows into the original integrated bracelet with signature notched bezel and a recessed Maltese Crossat six o'clock — a detail that rewards the attentive. The silver-toned Sigma dial, slender baton hands, and date window speak with quiet confidence.

Powering it is the ultra-thin automatic Caliber 1124, based on Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary 889 — a movement celebrated for both its technical finesse and reliability.

Produced in limited numbers, the Vacheron 222 has become one of the most collectible pieces from the golden era of Swiss design. This two-tone model is particularly rare — and remains a timeless statement of sophisticated sportiness.
