VACHERON CONSTANTIN•STEEL

Here is a more impactful, elevated version—still credible, but with stronger collector appeal:
 
An outstanding and particularly rare Vacheron Constantin timepiece from circa 1947, powered by the revered caliber 12V / 453.
 
Housed in a striking oversized 35.5mm stainless steel case, this watch immediately stands apart from typical production of the era, where steel examples of this size are seldom encountered. Its appeal is further elevated by the presence of rose gold indexes and hands, creating a highly distinctive and sought-after contrast rarely seen in period pieces.
 
The dial is entirely untouched, preserved in exceptional condition, displaying a rich, even patina that speaks to both its authenticity and careful preservation over time.
 
Importantly, the watch is 100% original throughout and accompanied by excellent provenance, having been acquired from one of the most respected dealers in the world, with the original invoice included.
