Catalogue Essay
- The Jubilee 1755 was launched in 2005 for Vacheron Constantin's 250th anniversary (making it the first watch brand in continuous operation to reach 250 years of existence)
- The watch features the signature elements found in all the 250th anniversary creations that were never reproduced: a magnificent case with quarter Maltese cross (the emblem of the brand), shaped lugs and a special guilloché dial. A rare feat- the brand was allowed to apply the Geneva Seal emblem on the dial (something rarely accepted by the Geneva Seal authorities at the time as the seal is reserved only for movements).
- The Jubilee 1755 also saw the first use of the inhouse cal. 2475 featuring a day, date and power reserve indication.
- The Jubilee 1755 was made in 501 pieces in white gold, 501 pieces in pink gold, 501 pieces in pink gold and 252 pieces in platinum. The present white gold example bears lucky number 8.
- The watch is offered in excellent condition with its full set of accessories.
- Please note that the proceeds of the present timepiece will be donated by the consignor to various charities.

Literature
Vacheron Constantin
Swiss | 1755The world's oldest watch brand in continuous operation since its founding in 1755, Vacheron Constantin was the first watch company to manufacture movements with interchangeable parts beginning in 1839. Vacheron's watches are admired for their Latin-influenced case designs, well-balanced proportions and exquisitely finished movements of the highest quality. The Geneva-based manufacturer is known for their highly complicated masterpieces, including the King Farouk Grand Complication made in 1935, the Tour de l'Ile that was the most complicated serially produced wristwatch when introduced in 2005 and the 57260 — the world’s most complicated watch — made in 2015.
Key vintage models include minute repeating wristwatches such as the references 4261, chronographs such as the references 4178 and 6087 and the oversized Cioccolotone models such as ref. 4737. Collectors also appreciate Vacheron's Chronometer Royal pocket and wristwatches, as well as the '222,' the brand's first luxury sports watch produced from 1977 through 1984.
