Vacheron Constantin's Overseas series launched in 1996, as an casual, yet elegant statement piece for global travelers. A second version of the Overseas, of which the present lot belongs, launched in 2004, with a modified case and bracelet optimized for greater comfort. The Overseas II is also larger, fitted with a 42 mm case. The series was recently reinvented in 2016, and remains a truly iconic wristwatch.
