A Malachite Rarity from the Golden Age of Elegance

A vivid green Malachite dial, swirling with natural beauty, framed by solid 18k yellow gold — this Vacheron Constantin 2098P from the 1970s is more than a dress watch; it's a wearable work of art.

Exceptionally rare, it pairs an untouched Malachite stone dial with an ultra-slim gold case by famed casemaker Eggly & Cie. Only few Malachite dials survive the ravages of time — making this piece a true collector’s gem.

With its golden dauphine hands, crisp white VC logo, and striking color contrast, it wears like refined jewelry with a mechanical soul. Examples this well-preserved are rarely seen.
