Vacheron Constantin 18k Teardrop 1940s

Vacheron Constantin Teardrop Sub Seconds — 1940s Gold Elegance

A beautifully preserved Vacheron Constantin dress watch from the 1940s, defined by its elegant teardrop lugs, Roman numerals, and sub-seconds with minute track. The 18k yellow gold case harmonizes perfectly with the gold hands and indices, creating a warm, refined presence on the wrist.

The original silver two tone dial remains untouched and underscoring the watch’s authenticity and rarity. Powered by the reliable Vacheron Constantin Cal. P453, this piece represents true mid-century haute horlogerie — history you can wear.
