Offered here is an exceptional collector’s piece: the Vacheron Constantin Historiques Ultra-Fine 1955, reference 33155/000R-9588. This is a watch that celebrates horological history, being a faithful re-edition of the world’s thinnest mechanical hand-wound watch from 1955. The 36mm case is crafted from warm 18k rose gold and is fitted with its signed rose gold buckle. True to its heritage, the case measures an astonishingly slim 4.10 mm, allowing it to slide effortlessly under a cuff.
At its heart lies the legendary, ultra-thin Caliber 1003, rebuilt here in 18-carat gold to mark the model’s 55th anniversary. This exquisite movement, bearing the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva, is a marvel of micro-mechanical engineering at just 1.64 mm thick. In very good condition, this “time only” dress watch represents a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Vacheron Constantin’s legacy, combining understated elegance with technical prowess.
