The Chronomètre Royal, a highly regarded lineage within Vacheron Constantin's production, represents the epitome of quality craftsmanship. First introduced in 1907, brands would manufacture chronometers solely for competition purposes but Vacheron Constantin decided to provide clients with the same exceptional quality for everyday wear.
In 1953, the Chronomètre Royal was reintroduced as a wristwatch, showcasing the cal. P1008/BS, as on the present lot, which was considered among the finest watches in terms of movement and design.
The Reference 6111 is instantly recognisable thanks to its unique half hooded lugs bringing a little twist to the traditional design. To protect the superb movement, the watch further has a screw-down back with the Chronometer Royal designation engraved on the edge.
