VACHERON CONSTANTIN, AN 18K WHITE GOLD BRACELETED WRISTWATCH WITH LAPIS LAZULI DIAL
Presented on a beautiful and weighty integrated which gold bracelet, the lot in question is a fabulous example of the celebrated Lapis Lazuli dials by Vacheron Constantin. Lapis Lazuli is one of the most treasured and expensive materials since ancient times, only being used in paintings, for example, on the most special of occasions. Moreover, stone dials are very difficult to implement due to cracking and chipping. This is therefore a rare and very fine example indeed.
