The Vacheron Constantin 1972 collection occupies a distinctive position in the history of high jewelry lady’s watches. Originally created to commemorate a significant international recognition received by the Maison in 1972, the model became a symbol of refined elegance combining haute horlogerie and fine jewelry craftsmanship. Its asymmetric case, rooted in Art Deco design principles, reflects the Maison’s ability to balance architectural clarity with sculptural sophistication.
During the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Vacheron Constantin expanded its high jewelry watch segment, integrating advanced gem-setting techniques into its classical watchmaking heritage. The dense pavé setting across the case and dial requires exceptional precision and meticulous diamond selection for uniform brilliance and harmony. Such models were conceived for discerning collectors seeking not only the prestige of a Maison founded in 1755, but also the synthesis of Swiss watchmaking excellence and refined jewelry artistry. The 1972 Grand Curved version represents a contemporary reinterpretation of the historic prototype, enhancing its decorative richness through extensive diamond setting and the warm glow of rose gold. It stands as an example of haute horlogerie in feminine form, where design, craftsmanship and brand legacy converge to ensure enduring market desirability.
The rose gold case and diamond setting are in excellent condition. No missing stones observed. Sapphire crystal free from chips. Movement running properly. New leather strap. Original box included.
