This beautiful gold timepiece features Vacheron & Constantin’s automatic movement calibre 477, a movement with an oscillating weight winding mechanism used by the brand for a short time only.
The watch is in excellent condition. An attractive contrast to the warm gold tone of the case is the engine-turned, iridescent silver dial with its applied gold indexes and Arabic numerals at the quarters. The large, fluted lugs lend the watch its dynamic appearance and the strong presence on the wrist - making it a perfect addition to any ambitious collection of vintage timepieces.
