In the 1950s a collaboration of LeCoultre and Vacheron Constantin launched this unique timepiece on the market. The names of both brands are engraved in the caseback. The "Galaxy Mystery" came in a 14 K gold case and was solely aimed at the American market; several versions were available, all of them extremely attractive.
