The Holy Trinity of watch brands: Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin.

Generally less understood than either of its respected compatriots, Vacheron Constantin has a legacy of producing some of the very finest high horology complications in history - and some of the loveliest.

Sports watches came later to VC, as pressure from the new 'Sports Luxury' category introduced in the early 1970s forced the storied brand to evolve - but historically, classically styled dress pieces is where Vacheron cut their teeth.

This particular watch, a Reference 4786 "Disco Volante" dates to the early 1950s and features an 18k yellow gold case with 'hooded' lugs and stunning Clous De Paris finishing, a silver dial with a brushed center and a matching Clous De Paris chapter ring with applied indices, and a matching 'pencil' handset. Powered by Vacherons hand-cranking Calibre 466/3B movement, it comes fitted to one of our Analog:Shift leather strap with with a gold plated pin buckle.

With its timeless and endlessly appealing looks - combined with extensive pedigree, this is a great opportunity to snag an excellent heirloom quality timepiece from one of the very best in the business!
