Artistry from the Maison of Vacheron Constantin -  “Jumbo” 18k Rose Gold from the 1940s

This exquisite example, crafted in 18k rose gold 38mm, reveals Vacheron’s attention to proportion and elegance at its finest. The silver dial features a rare 3-9-12 numeral layout, highlighted by rose diamond and round hour markers, a sub-seconds register, and fine outer minute track — details that radiate sophistication without excess. The very wide bezel provides enormous wrist presence.

Powering the piece is the legendary Caliber P453/5B, a hand-wound movement derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre and refined by Vacheron for precision and beauty. Its timeless design, preserved in outstanding condition, showcases the artistry and mechanical integrity that define mid-century haute horlogerie.

A rare opportunity to own one of Vacheron’s most charismatic vintage creations — elegant, architectural, and deeply collectible.
