Vacheron & Constantin 222 Lady Quartz

The Vacheron Constantin 222, introduced in 1977 to celebrate the brand’s 222nd anniversary, marks a pivotal chapter in the history of luxury sports watches. Designed by Jörg Hysek, the 222 was Vacheron’s elegant response to the integrated steel icons of the era, such as the Royal Oak and Nautilus. Distinguished by its refined proportions, clean lines, and distinctive notched bezel, it combined sporty robustness with timeless sophistication—an ideal embodiment of the maison’s heritage of craftsmanship and modern design.

This particular model, the 222 Lady Quartz, features the Caliber 1009 quartz movement and a stunning champagne dial, offering both precision and beauty. The acciaio/oro (steel and gold) configuration accentuates the 1970s aesthetic, balancing understated luxury with everyday wearability. Its integrated bracelet, finely brushed and polished, seamlessly flows into the slim case for a harmonious silhouette.

A rare and collectible piece, this 222 Lady remains in perfect, original condition, exhibiting crisp edges, intact hallmarks, and a flawless dial with warm golden tones. The quartz caliber runs flawlessly, reflecting Vacheron Constantin’s dedication to precision at every scale. Elegant, iconic, and historically significant, this 222 Lady Quartz is a true gem from one of horology’s most revered maisons.
