Catalogue Essay
In 2019, Cory Richards embarked on his third ascent of Mount Everest, taking on the challenging and treacherous North-East Ridge route. During this expedition, he wore a prototype of the Overseas Dual Time watch specially developed by Vacheron Constantin, featuring a two-tone titanium and tantalum case. This unique timepiece was later auctioned at the "Game Changers New York" auction in December 2019, achieving a price of $106,250 at that time. The design and aesthetic elements of this special watch now serve as the inspiration for the new limited edition Overseas "Everest" watches, with a production limited to 150 pieces released in 2021.
The present watch boasts a captivating grained finish dial in anthracite grey, which provides a striking contrast against the titanium and stainless steel case. To differentiate it from regular production models, the bezel, crown, and pusher guards are crafted from titanium, a lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant material. The dial also incorporates vibrant orange accents, adding a dynamic touch that complements the sporty and adventurous aesthetic.
Turning the watch over reveals a movement that was coated by an anthracite grey NAC treatment, giving the timepiece a contemporary character. The 22K gold oscillating weight is purposely adorned with an engraving of Mount Everest, inspired by a photograph taken by Cory Richards.
This particular timepiece, numbered 131 out of the 150 pieces produced, is well-preserved and accompanied by its full set of accessories.

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.
