A superb example of early 20th-century Art Nouveau luxury watchmaking, this large Vacheron & Constantin wristwatch is crafted in platinum and features an elegant onyx and diamond-set bezel, demonstrating the maison's mastery of both design and gem-setting. Circa 1916, the watch houses a manual-winding movement and is of a notably generous size for its period, offering a presence on the wrist that is particularly striking given the era's typically smaller proportions.
This exceptional timepiece is offered with its original box and Vacheron Constantin Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its provenance and collector-ready condition. The combination of precious materials, refined dimensions, and exquisite craftsmanship exemplifies Vacheron & Constantin's reputation for elegance and technical excellence. A timepiece of remarkable beauty and historical significance, it presents collectors with the opportunity to acquire a rare and sophisticated wristwatch from one of horology's most esteemed maisons.
This particular model No.230231 is illustrated and referenced in L'Univers de Vacheron Constantin Genève by Carole Lambelet and Lorette Coen.
