Vacheron Constantin "Horizon" Ref. 4878 — Ultra-Thin Gold Elegance

A refined Vacheron Constantin Patrimony dress watch from the mid 1950s, defined by its solid 18k yellow gold case. The beautifully preserved golden dial features stick indexes and is brushed in two different angles and therefor creates the unique look with a "Horizon" in the center

This example stands out for its great overall condition and balanced proportions, measuring just 6.5 mm in thickness, making it an ideal under-the-cuff companion. Inside ticks the legendary Vacheron Constantin Cal. 1001, one of the finest ultra-thin manual movements ever produced.

A timeless expression of haute horlogerie, understated, elegant, and unmistakably Vacheron.
