江詩丹頓,罕有,精鋼自動鏈帶腕錶,備日期顯示。附錶盒

Launched in 1977 to celebrate Vacheron Constantin’s 222nd anniversary, the iconic 222 redefined the integrated steel sports watch category. Designed by the prodigious Jorg Hysek at just 24 years old, the original 222 distinguished itself from contemporaries like the Royal Oak and Nautilus with its cutting-edge tonneau case, fluted bezel, and the ultra-thin calibre 1121, derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary 920. With fewer than 500 stainless steel examples produced, the 222 has become a cult classic among collectors.

A rare and audacious creation, the Vacheron Constantin "Square" 222 reference 46004 builds on this legacy with a bold reinterpretation. Featuring angular, hexagonal edges and a 31x38mm case, it introduces the calibre 1124 and integrated bracelet, proudly mechanical in an era dominated by quartz. While not designed by Hysek, the Square 222 maintains the same ultra-thin, versatile aesthetic, offering a unique and scarce variation of the 222 lineage. Its daring design and rarity ensure it will always be a conversation starter for its owner.

Research shows that only 170 pieces of the square 222 were made in stainless steel. So rare is this model that it is the first time this reference is being offered by Phillips. Presented in excellent condition, recently serviced and accompanied by its accessories, this Square 222 is a remarkable opportunity for any collector to acquire a piece of Vacheron Constantin’s bold and innovative history.

Vacheron Constantin

Swiss | 1755

The 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.
