Vacheron & Constantin Geneve Türler, 18k Gold, 1941

An attractive 18k gold Vacheron Constantin with a rare Türler signed dial. For those who love understated and achingly beautiful vintage gold dress watches, Vacheron is often top of the list, and with this example it's easy to see why!

Perfectly sized for a vintage dress watch at 35mm, its 18k gold case is as elegant as it is understated. This feel is carried over to the dial which offers a wonderfully aged feel and pleasing patina. Even better, it's double signed with the Türler name.

Türler is a Swiss-based jewellery and watch retailer based in Zurich. Founded in 1883 its name can be found on dials of several brands including Rolex, Omega and of course, Vacheron Constantin.

The practice of dual signing dials was a privilege awarded by watch brands to their most important retailers. Whilst the practice was more common with brands such as Rolex and Patek, it was arguably rarer with Vacheron, making this example all the more special!

Overall the watch is in great condition given it dates from circa 1941. The crown has been changed at some point in the past but it actually makes using the watch far easier. Some Vacheron's from the period have thin crowns and whilst they may add to the minimalist design, some can be hatefully difficult to wind!

The watch is powered by a 17 jewel manual wind Vacheron movement. As with most vintage Vacheron Constantin's its construction is a work of art in itself! Finally, the watch has been fitted with a new black leather strap to finish off its classic styling. 

All in all, this is a very special and desirable Vacheron Constantin. With prices of vintage Vacheron's seeing strong growth, not only does it offer a stunning and truly unique watch but also a great investment!
