  • Catalogue Essay

    - The Vacheron Constantin Malte Dual Time Regulateur from the early 2000s has a bold double-stepped fluted lug case design with a hinged caseback, it is practical and precise at the same time thanks to its C.O.S.C chronometer certified movement.

    - The present example is kept in its amazing original “new-old-stock” condition retaining even its caseback sticker. Never worn and stored in a safe for years, the dial has aged into an incredibly charming warm cream hue. Furthermore, the date indicator ring developed and intense yellow patina that balance in harmony magically with the aged dial.

    - Featuring a pusher at 10 o’clock, the wearer can adjust the GMT second time zone with ease. The faceted sword hands clearly contrast against the mixture of Roman and Arabic numerals on the dial, bold just enough to make it easy to read at a glance.

    - Accompanied by its full set of accessories and rare patina, please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to various charities.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
