Timeless Vacheron & Constantin Vintage Wristwatch (c.1925) – Engraved Silver Dial, Gold-Plated Case, Lab-Created Diamonds, Fully Serviced & Ready to Wear
Every so often, you come across a timepiece that stops you in your tracks — a watch so stunning it might just require an oxygen supply. This Vacheron & Constantin from around 1925 is exactly that kind of masterpiece. Often described as the “E-Type Jaguar” of watches, it combines breathtaking design, exquisite engraving on both the dial and movement, a gold-plated case, and a perfect size that fits elegantly on the wrist.
The silver dial is a marvel, fully engraved and signed, with those classic black hands typical of the era, creating a magical vintage aesthetic. The mechanical movement, numbered 417014, is meticulously engraved and gold plated, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of this legendary Swiss manufacturer. The diamonds adorning the watch have been closely examined by a professional jeweller and are believed to be high-quality laboratory-produced stones—flawless to the naked eye and spectacular in their light capture.
Though sometimes referred to as a “marriage watch,” due to its recased nature, this piece stands out with its 34mm case—small for a pocket watch but perfectly sized for the wrist. The side button near the crown elegantly depresses while setting the time, adding a charming, old-world feature. This watch arrives in near-mint condition, complete with a luxurious wooden presentation box, outer protective box, an extra leather strap, and cleaning cloths, making it ready to wear or gift.
Fully serviced in the final quarter of 2024, this timepiece is ready to perform flawlessly, but as a true antique mechanical watch, it requires a gentle touch. Allow it time to settle on your wrist for accurate timing, and keep it away from water. It’s not a quartz watch and should be treated with the respect only a vintage heirloom deserves.
This is not just a watch; it’s a bold statement of elegance and history. Perfect for special occasions or as a dress watch for black-tie events, it will captivate any audience with its classical styling and refined presence. Having been personally worn and admired, we can attest that it delivers on both charm and reliability, making it a treasured addition to any serious collector’s portfolio.
As timepieces from Vacheron & Constantin become increasingly rare, owning this watch is both an investment and a legacy. It promises many more decades of enjoyment and is destined to be passed down through generations, making it a truly priceless gift for the future.
Please appreciate the photographs and the sheer artistry of this classical timepiece. The pricing reflects its immaculate condition, recent servicing, and undeniable value.
