VACHERON CONSTANTIN | 18K PINK GOLD CHRONOGRAPH WRISTWATCH, REF 4178

VACHERON CONSTANTIN

18K PINK GOLD CHRONOGRAPH WRISTWATCH, REF 4178

Another of Vacheron Constantin’s most iconic chronographs, the reference 4178 was produced from the late 1930s through the early 1970s. This particular model, manufactured in 1948, houses the V492 caliber in a pink gold case — one of less than 110 pieces to feature that combination. The dial is pure classicism with pink gold indexes, blued steel hands, and both telemetric and tachymetric scales. Though, the case’s sculptural lugs nod to the beginnings of mid-century modernist design.
