Historical Context

During the 1950s, Vacheron Constantin produced some of the most refined dress watches of its history. The so-called “Flying Saucer” model stands out for its strikingly modern design for the time, with almost invisible lugs and a case that appears to float on the wrist. This example in 18k yellow gold, featuring an original guilloché dial and manual-winding caliber 466/3B, perfectly represents the elegance and craftsmanship of Vacheron Constantin’s post-war production.
