1946 Vacheron Constantin Reference 4301, In Stainless Steel, With Certificate
Why This Watch Matters
It’s all about that stainless-steel, waterproof case with this 1946 Vacheron Constantin. Throw in a signature from legendary Zurich-based retailer Türler on the original dial, plus a top-tier hand-wound caliber, and you have a truly incredible package.
The Full Story
It's one thing to find 35 mm stainless-steel dress watch with waterproof screw down case back from 1946. It's yet another to find one from Vacheron Constantin, and signed by 133-year-old Zürich retailer Türler – not to mention the accompanying Certificate of Authenticity from Vacheron. This watch is in incredible condition, with sharp lugs and a fantastic dial. The applied baton indexes and Arabic numerals are a beautiful rose gold. The Vacheron Constantin movement is the renowned caliber 454 manual-winding movement, built from a Jaeger LeCoultre ébauche. It remains that the best thing about this watch is its stainless-steel case with screw down case back. You don’t see a VC stainless steel dress watch in this condition often.
