Today's offering showcases this uncommon and very fine Art Deco Vacheron & Constantin mens watch. Built circa the early to mid-1930's, it combines exceptional quality with striking styling. Featuring an elegant rectangular case with wide bezel and a Breguet numeral silver dial it showcases a wonderful and distinctive late Art Deco style.

The Art Deco period, with its love for geometrical design saw the creation of striking pieces by Vacheron & Constantin. These were mainly dress watches, although some were sports watches, as well as exotic and luxurious pieces. They also were often small by today's standards, keeping in step with the tastes of the time.

Powering the watch is its original and very fine handwound tonneu Vacheron & Constantin movement originally adjusted to three positions and for temperatures.

It has all of its original parts and has just finished a sympathetically done expert restoration.

Its original 18K gold Vacheron & Constantin case is in excellent condition with light wear to the back, wear on the sides of two lugs, and fairly light signs of previous polishing. On the wrist it presents very nicely.

Its dial is bright and attractive, professionally restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America.

One of our watchmakers has disassembled the movement down to the last screw and fully serviced it. Its very high grade movement running strong and true, keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have installed a brand new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
