Footnotes
In the 1950's Vacheron Constantin produced some very sumptuous and technically difficult case designs encrusted with some of the finest diamonds available to them. This particular watch is one of those rare pieces, which not only has a concealed hinged cover, but is set with varying single cut diamonds, making a truly stunning cocktail watch.
