Despite measuring in at 32mm (top to bottom, and 29mm side to side), the case, featuring its beautifully sculpted lugs wears larger than than you would expect, due to the unique flared flanges between the lugs. With the weight and tone of platinum, combined with the elegant two-tone dial, this watch wears with an unmistakable presence on the wrist, resulting in an uncommon example that feels both historically significant and visually forward all at the same time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Vacheron Constantin’s most expressive and sculptural case designs from a pivotal era in watchmaking history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHappy hunting,\u003cbr\u003eBrent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"814\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"848\"\u003eCondition Report \u0026amp; Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"1098\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"858\"\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"861\"\u003ePlatinum case in excellent overall condition with minor surface wear consistent with age.
