The original printing remains well preserved on the factory finished brushed silver dial. Â Beyond the black printed minute track the dial gently slopes past the applied gold arabic indices. Â Seconds are counted via subdial at 6 o’clock. Â Original gold baton hour and minute hands and original sub second hand all present.
Powering the watch is Vacheron & Constantin’s V458 hand winding chronometer grade movement in immaculate cosmetic and functional condition. Â The watch is running well and keeping time.
This vintage Vacheron & Constantin will arrive on a black lizard strap with gold plated buckle.
*Due to the sensitive nature of vintage watches, this watch should be treated as though not water resistant, even if marked as being so.
