  • Catalogue Essay

    Released in 2016, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph ref. 5500V takes on a whole new dimension for the famed model. Equipped with the firm’s first in-house chronograph cal. 5200, it marks an important milestone for the firm. Retaining rather similar aesthetics to its previous models, subtle changes such as the rising case sides allows the 42.5mm diameter case to generate an enhanced wrist presence. Executed to perfection, the brushed finish against its polished bevels provides a refined appeal at the same time showcasing the firm’s excellence in its reputable craftsmanship. Released in a total of three variations in steel, the present example with a blue dial is certainly the most iconic and the most attractive to most collectors. Offered in “like new” overall condition and complete with its full set of accessories, it is a perfect chronograph wristwatch for daily wear especially with the newly incorporated quick change bracelet for the active collector.

  • 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.
