Haute Horlogerie As High Jewelry

Vacheron Constantin has operated continuously since 1755, earning its place at the highest level of Swiss watchmaking. This piece is a clear demonstration of that legacy. It combines two of the most demanding crafts, skeletonization and gem-setting, into a single work of art. The movement is not merely cut away but intricately hand-engraved, creating a backdrop for the factory-set diamond bezel. Finding this specific combination of a fully skeletonized movement and a factory diamond bezel in 18K white gold is uncommon.

An Unbroken Line Of White Gold

The design is built around the idea of a seamless flow of precious metal and light. The integrated 18K white gold bracelet feels like a natural extension of the case, creating a fluid and substantial presence on the wrist. This is not a watch with a bracelet attached, but a single, cohesive piece of jewelry. The openworked dial allows a view directly into the automatic movement, where every bridge and plate has been finished by hand. It is a watch that reveals its quality from every angle.

A Remarkable State Of Preservation

This example is in excellent condition. The 18K white gold case, factory diamond bezel, and integrated bracelet show minimal signs of wear and retain their original finishing. The hand-engraved skeletonized movement is clean and visually impressive through the front and back crystals. The bracelet is firm and presents beautifully on the wrist. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

The Apex Of Geneva Dress Watches

This is a watch for someone who understands that true luxury is in the execution. It moves beyond telling time to showcase the highest level of traditional craft from one of the world's most respected watchmakers. It makes a definitive statement without being loud, relying on the quality of the engraving and the brilliance of the diamonds to command attention. It is a piece that embodies the skill and history of the Vacheron Constantin name.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
