This unusual Vacheron Constantin has an attractive tonneau-shape case with the horizontal bezels overlapping the case as if it was wrapping it. The design is very elegant and timeless, as demonstrated by some other manufactures that have been producing some very similar models, such as Cartier with the Tortue Chinoise. The case is nicely finished with teardrop lugs and a domed milled crown, two distinctive style elements of Vacheron Constantin.

The watch is powered by the nicely finished manual winding Calibre 457, which has an usual cushion shape.
