Founded in 1755 in Geneva, Vacheron Constantin is the world’s longest continuously operating watchmaker—synonymous with elegance, tradition, and technical artistry. As one of the revered “Holy Trinity” of Swiss watchmaking, Vacheron has long been a master of refined design and mechanical innovation.
The Vacheron Constantin ref. 70001 is a beautiful example of late 20th-century sophistication. Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold, the ultra-slim 33mm case features sharp lines and balanced proportions that embody the maison’s understated luxury. Unlike many mechanical Vacherons, this reference is powered by a high-precision quartz movement, cal.1009/39—offering modern reliability wrapped in timeless aesthetics.
Its white, plain lacquered dial is tastefully adorned with crisp Roman numerals and elegant yellow gold leaf hands, evoking classical symmetry and grace. The watch is fitted with a vintage JB Champion alligator strap and its 18kt Yellow gold buckle.
With its quiet presence and dignified design, this VC is the perfect everyday dress watch for the discerning collector.
