One of Vacheron Constantin’s most emblematic chronographs, the reference 4072 exhibits the understated elegance and technical virtuosity for which the manufacture is known. The manually-wound movement boasts a 30-minute counter — an especially impressive time-measuring capacity for the era. Its production started in the late 1930's and finished in the early 1970's. This example in pink gold features a silvered dial, and has been nicely kept throughout the years.
