Vacheron Constantin is widely recognized as one of the most prestigious horological brands, with superb creations and high quality movements. In the middle of the 20th century, Vacheron Constantin also produced some magnificent ladies watches preciously decorated.
With this lot, the Manufacture founded in 1755 signed a most elegant creation with a bracelet using baguette and brilliant-cut diamonds as well as rubies, a stone rarely seen on a piece from that period. The case of the watch also has a diamond-set bezel while the dial alternates dots and diamond-set indexes for the quarters.
