Lot Essay

According to the Archives of Vacheron Constantin, the present chronograph wristwatch reference 4178 was manufactured in 1952.

This watch is a particularly fine example of the celebrated reference 4178, impressing with the highly attractive two-tone silvered dial, beautifully harmonizing with the rare pink gold case with the elegant teardrop lugs.

Reference 4178, one of Vacheron Constantin's landmark chronograph models, was in production from 1938 until the early 1970s. It existed with oval-shaped chronograph buttons or with the better known rectangular variant, the bezel was either beleved or flat.
