VACHERON CONSTANTIN
Historiques Chronograph
A highly sought neo-vintage chronograph from Vacheron Constantin with iconic Clous de Paris (Hobnail) dial. The 1980s and 1990s showcased some beautiful luxury timepieces from Vacheron and the reference 47001 represents the milestone of VC’s first automatic chronograph.
The example we present here featuring the rarer Gold dial, lesser seen due to its lower production on what was already a low production reference of only a few years.
