Elegance refined over half a century. This is a historic masterpiece from the 1950s manual-winding Vacheron Constantin series. Featuring a perfectly balanced silver dial with a clean small-seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, golden baton hour markers — minimalist yet exquisitely restrained — it embodies everything I imagine in a vintage dress watch for daily wear.
The Cal. V453 manual-winding movement is based on Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Cal. 449, developed specifically for Vacheron Constantin. It incorporates VC’s hallmark Geneva Seal finishing standards. A closer look at the beveled mirror-polished chamfers reveals the craftsmanship and value of this hand-finished movement — the finishing quality alone is enough to make your heart race.
This is a vintage watch without accessories, but the overall condition is well-preserved with only minor signs of age. We've paired it with a Glacier Blue TOGO leather strap, adding a quiet elegance to its classic style. Fully serviced by our workshop and comes with a 1-year warranty. In-stock and available for trial wear.
