C.1939 Vacheron Constantin Ref.5 Rectangular Tank with fancy corrugated case band and manual winding in 18KPG

Description

Vintage. No box or papers and a Passions box will be given.

Fresh out of a full service, this vintage VC dates back to pre-War years in the late-1930s when the world just recovered from her 1st Great Depression and entering WW2. This watch is more than eighty years old.

This is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful vintage Vacheron Constantin from the pre-War era.

Housed in an 18KPG rectangular fancy case in two parts with an unsigned crown (they were usually unsigned prior to 1945). The case has been lightly polished but some fine scratches remain and movement shines brightly after the full service. The dial on this watch is an original, made on an engraved plate and black enamelled. It is showing patina while the applied pink gold Roman numerals adds a touch of glamour and class. The Helvetia gold hallmark is clearly visible on the lug @ 5 o’clock which shows that the watch was not over-polished.

A very lovely watch that will certainly add class to your collection. A Cartier tank or this?
