Important early VC automatic (1950s) based on the caliber K1072 in rare 18K whitegold-variant with a slightly hued patinae-linen-dial.
The K1072 was one of the first automatic calibers proudly used by VC: Solid gold rotor-weight, exceptionally decorated and refined, stamped with Geneva-seal and the winding-rotor rolling on rotating rubies: there is simply no other that sophisticated automatic around and it is easily comparable to the '50s Patek cal12-600 -- Pateks first automatic movement.
Presented with its box and the VC certificate of archive (ordered).
