Today's offering showcases this rare and very fine Art Deco Vacheron & Constantin watch. Built circa the early 1930's, it combines exceptional quality with unusual and striking Art Deco styling. It has dual stepped dramatic case hoods and gold dial.

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 at times, some of which were in multicolor gold.

The hands give the watch a monochrome gold look and could be left as they are or painted black. The dial is a nice vintage restoration. The original case presents very nicely. And the movement is running strong and true.

Photos of the inside available upon request.

Our Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with new V&C parts, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $495 value).

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