  • Artist Biography

    Vacheron Constantin

    Swiss • 1755

    The world's oldest watch brand in continuous operation since its founding in 1755, Vacheron Constantin was the first watch company to manufacture movements with interchangeable parts beginning in 1839. Vacheron's watches are admired for their Latin-influenced case designs, well-balanced proportions and exquisitely finished movements of the highest quality. The Geneva-based manufacturer is known for their highly complicated masterpieces, including the King Farouk Grand Complication made in 1935, the Tour de l'Ile that was the most complicated serially produced wristwatch when introduced in 2005 and the 57260 — the world’s most complicated watch — made in 2015.

    Key vintage models include minute repeating wristwatches such as the references 4261, chronographs such as the references 4178 and 6087 and the oversized Cioccolotone models such as ref. 4737. Collectors also appreciate Vacheron's Chronometer Royal pocket and wristwatches, as well as the '222,' the brand's first luxury sports watch produced from 1977 through 1984.

Ref. 49145/000A-9058
One of Vacheron's most distinctive models since the Overseas, the Royal Eagle was a huge departure from the classic round cases they are best know for. An evolution of the Malte line with the distinctive double stepped flared lugs, this large tonneau chronograph is found in untouched condition with its original VC box, certificate and 'filofax'. Powered by the same 1137 calibre found in the, fan-favourite, Overseas chrono, it also boasts a large date display at 12 on the white guilloche dial.
