Amongst the Holy Trinity that is Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin — VC, relatively speaking, remains a bit of a sleeper and in our opinion deserves more of the spotlight.

Generally less understood than either of its respected compatriots, Vacheron Constantin has a legacy of producing some of the very finest high horology complications in history — and some of the loveliest.

Sports watches came later to VC, as pressure from competitors in the then-new 'Sports Luxury' category launched in the early 1970s forced the storied brand to evolve — but historically, more classically-styled dress pieces is where Vacheron cut their teeth.

This particular example dates back to the 1970s and features an 18k white gold ultra thin case with an absolutely stunning factory-set diamond bezel. It is accompanied by a lovely sunburst silver dial with applied indices,  pencil handset, acrylic crystal, and is powered by a manual-winding movement.

This beautiful piece comes fitted to an equally stunning 18k white gold integrated woven bracelet with a svelte hook and lock clasp — a subtle flex that only the wearer and the rare onlooker will acknowledge and appreciate.

With its endlessly appealing looks accompanied by a bold integrated bracelet design and extensive watchmaking pedigree, this is a great opportunity to snag an excellent, little-known model from one of the very best in the business!
