WHY WE LOVE IT
The Holy Trinity of watch brands: Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin.
Far less understood than either of its respected compatriots, Vacheron Constantin has a legacy of producing some of the very finest haute horlogerie complications in history — and some of the loveliest.
Sports watches came later to VC, as pressure from the new “luxury sport watch” category introduced in the early 1970s forced the storied maison to evolve. Its entry came in the form of the 222, whose design language inspired the current Overseas collection. The Overseas models compete with other watches such as the Patek Philippe Nautilus, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, IWC Ingenieur, and Piaget Polo, and often find favor by merit of design, value, and variety of complications.
This particular example, an Overseas Dual Time Reference 7900V, dates to circa 2020-2021 and features an striking sunburst silver dial with applied luminous indices, an AM/PM indicator, a date indicator at 6:00, a signed crown, and a matching stainless steel bracelet with a signed deployant clasp.
In outstanding condition overall, this piece comes with two additional straps and the rest of its factory goodies.
This is a watch that would have looked fresh in the 1970s, looks fresh now, and will look fresh in another 50 years.
