Vacheron Constantin ‘Corne de Vache’ in Red Gold

This particular Vacheron Constantin stands out for an aesthetic of remarkable richness, expressed through its beautifully sculpted 18k red gold case. Warmer and more насыщенный than traditional rose gold, this alloy lends extraordinary depth and character to the watch, enhancing every curve with a distinctive glow.

Its architecture is especially compelling. While the lugs belong to the elegant curvilinear language of the 1940s, their form is notably more assertive, giving the watch a powerful and unmistakable presence. Inside the case, the Geneva Key #23 confirms manufacture by the esteemed casemaker Eggly & Cie, a name closely associated with some of Vacheron Constantin’s most sophisticated and imaginative creations of the period.

The dial is a study in balance and refinement. A finely executed guilloché motif adorns the central disc, creating a rich, light-catching texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth outer ring and precise minute track. The classic subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock further enhances the harmony of the design, while the manually wound movement within reflects the purity and discipline that defined high watchmaking of the era.

This watch is a compelling expression of a time when Vacheron Constantin entrusted its most ambitious designs to Geneva’s finest casemakers, resulting in pieces of exceptional individuality and enduring beauty.

The combination of red gold, the Eggly & Cie hallmark, and the rare guilloché dial makes this timepiece a particularly important example for the discerning collector of vintage Vacheron Constantin.
