One of Vacheron Constantin’s most emblematic chronographs, the reference 4072 exhibits the understated elegance and technical virtuosity for which the manufacture is known.
This piece, created in 1942, is one of only 214 models that were produced in yellow gold with the caliber 13” – 492chrn. Its handsomely patinated dial features yellow gold indexes, blued steel counter and chronograph hands, and sleek, modernist lines. The manually-wound movement boasts a 30-minute counter — an especially impressive time-measuring capacity for the era. Its production started in the late 1930’s and finished in the early 1970’s. This specific piece was sold by the famous retailer April 28, 1973.
Watch comes with an amazing Gay Freres 18k yellow gold bracelet, original crocodile strap with Vacheron buckle gold plated, original box, paper end extract from archives.
