Rare Raised Crystal Calatrava, Historical 1920s
Vacheron Constantin Trench-Watch: Historical Calatrava w/ Raised Crystal, Outstanding
CHF 4,400
WHY WE LOVE IT? Because it is a >100y old artefact of Swiss watchmaking by one of its best & finest (& oldest) manufacturers: Vacheron & Constantin.
The watch was probably made in 1921 (see the 1922-examples from the VC-reference book on the last photo). The watch is in outstanding and obviously all original condition. Just the emaille-dial shows some superficial hairline-cracks but is clean and beautiful with an authentic appearance.
The lids are both made of 18K-yellowgold and are in very good condition and closing safely and crisp. Both (inner & outer lid) are signed and stamped with the same case-serial number (#251'XXX). The movement was checked, is clean and running precise & reliable (serial-number #402'XXX).
