Vacheron Constantin was founded in 1755 and is to this day, the oldest Swiss watch brand that has been continuously in business. They had an 84-year head start over Patek Philippe. That’s about 3 generations of watchmaking older than Patek and a lot can happen over a span of 84 years in watchmaking. In 2015 to mark the brand’s 260th anniversary. Vacheron Constantin launched the model 57260, with 57 complications, 2,826 parts and 31 hands that took them 8 years to assemble This is touted as the most complicated timepiece in the world. Vacheron Constantin had impressed watch aficionados around the world and has attracted many high profile customers which include King Farouk of Egypt and many others. The people that tend to purchase a Vacheron watch are usually the types that have an appreciation for impeccably crafted complicated mechanical watches but also like to fly-below-the-radar when wearing one. Vacheron Constantin is the 15th most recognized and valuable Swiss watch brand in the world. Though they are not as high up on the list as the likes of Patek Philippe or Rolex, they are still a very recognized brand with tremendous brand prestige. This is Overseas Ref 49140 in yellow gold 42 mm, weight 243 grams weight with full length of bracelet. I just love it and I often wear it.
What makes this Vacheron appealing is the fact that it's not a Rolex or a Patek Philippe!
