The Legendary Vacherson Constantin Ref 222 solid gold Watch











Vacheron Constantin made the reference 222 in 1977 to celebrate the firm's 222nd year of continuous watch production. The reference 222 was limited to 500 pieces in stainless steel, 120 pieces in stainless steel and gold and 100 pieces in gold. This watch has a close resemblance to the Patek Philippe Nautilus, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and IWC Ingenieur SL 1832.

“222” on steel was made in 500 pieces. This’s confirmed by number or reference we (me and other Italian owner) have filed (from 5220XX to 5224XX).There is 3 different types of dial.

“222” is antimagnetic and waterproof until 120 m. Bracelet is integrate with case. Clasp is not settable, and sealed with Maltese cross.
 It’s possible that steel version was made only in 1977, for anniversary. In fact all serials found are between 5220XX and 5224XX.

The one I show here is made with 18KT solid gold
Diameter: 37 mm
 Thickness: 6 mm
 Movement: VC 1121 Automatic made by JLC

It is massive, thin, elegant, simple and a legendary design of Vacheron Constantin, an Iconic model for Constantin. “222”.

In Chinese translation, “222” sounds like E E E, means Easy Easy and Easy!

This one is in my hands now, with the Box Special offer to HKWF VC fans.

Rolex Day Date Ref 118238 Brand New Full Set Available at Rolex AD shop today,











Need only a bit money to buy such a great stuff from Rolex
It is a Rare Brand New In Box Full Set Day Date with Onyx Dial.
With 5 year warranty.

It has been arrived Hong Kong after we order from Rolex Swiss.

This is the second one we order after the first one with Coral Dial (Sold in the next day)

yes, Onyx, it is not black paint, not Stella, it is Onyx...

Onyx is mentioned in the Bible many times.

Onyx was not only used as protection from evil witchcraft and enchantments, it could also control undesirable thoughts and bad tempers. It was thought the stone allowed wounds to heal and assisted in childbirth. This is an old Pagan belief adopted by the Christian Church. The Abbey Church of St Alban holds a healing onyx engraved with the image of Aesculapius, the Roman god of medicine. Black onyx was once highly prized for rosary beads, which may be why it is considered good for stress and the banishment of grief.


A lot of luxury brand like Piaget, VC, Rolex, PP, had been actively using Onyx on their watches especially in the year 70-80s especially on dress watch...




Nowadays, almost less than 0.001% watches are made with Onyx by Rolex  a year as due to the trend of going sporty, and it is very expensive to made comparing with the ordinary dial mad of bronze or even white gold, Platinum whatever.


Anyway, if you want to stand up in a different format with your wrist.


This may be the choice....
