A very well preserved reference 4073, likely unpolished in a classic Calatrava configuration.

Case: 33.5 mm 18k pink gold three-piece case, original unsigned crown, case no. 300,354

Dial: gold tone dial, faceted hour markers, enamel signature and open railroad track, engine-turned subsidiary dial

Movement: Vacheron Constantin cal. 453, manual winding, 17 jewels, mov;t no. 467,570

Bracelet: brown leather strap, plated tang buckle

Signed: Vacheron Constantin on dial, case, movement, "54" on rear of top left lug corresponding to case number

Condition: watch is in excellent condition considering it's almost 80 years old. Dial is in excellent condition; surely been cleaned at some point in its life, though I've seen varying examples with/without the accent over the E in "Geneve". Case is in excellent condition. Factory brushed/polished finishes throughout are present, as are hallmarks as well as the "54" number on the rear of the lug, corresponding with the case number. Caseback is very tight against the mid-case. the Vacheron caliber 453 is very well preserved; the details of the movement's construction, spanning from the black-polished swan's neck regulator to the interior angles of the bridges have survived in incredible condition. Movement runs and sets as intended at time of listing. Service history is unknown and timekeeping is not measured/guaranteed. Servicing is recommended.
