Vacheron Constantin has been producing pieces with Tonneau-shaped cases since 1912, and it has become a signature design of the Manufacture. The brand decided to continue this historic aesthetic in 2002 by launching the Royal Eagle collection, aimed at a younger audience alongside the Overseas line.
The Royal Eagle illustrates Vacheron Constantin’s willingness to seamlessly blend elegance and sportiness.
The present pink gold Vacheron Constantin Royal Eagle Chronograph displays a guilloché white dial with oversized applied Arabic numerals. The elegantly integrated double-guichet date and the three-register chronograph display enhance the presence of the watch.
The self-winding calibre 1137, manufactured by F.Piguet, is also used for the Overseas chronograph model.
