Footnotes

The Vacheron Constantin Ref.6526 was made in six examples only, with movement numbers ranging from 511622 - 511627. The triple complication watch was undoubtedly the most successful model for over 80 years. From 1880 to approximately the end of the 1960s, it was the symbol of Swiss horological mastery and was produced by only a very few great watchmaking companies such as Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet.

This example was sold as part of the Vacheron Constantin Quarter Millennium Sale in Geneva on the 3rd of April 2005 and comes with its Certificate of Authenticity.
