Vacheron Constantin 7931 – White Gold Lapis Lazuli Dial & integrated Bracelet
The definitive blue-chip configuration
Vacheron Constantin is the oldest continuous watchmaker in the world, and during the 1970s, they used that pedigree to dominate the "integrated" luxury market. This Reference 7931 is an execution in 18k white gold that offers an understated, monochromatic backdrop for the centerpiece: its Lapis Lazuli dial. This configuration balances the technical prowess of the "Holy Trinity" with the artistic spirit of the avant-garde.
The master basket-weave
The defining feature of this piece, second only to the stone, is the integrated basket-weave bracelet. Vacheron’s bracelets from this era are legendary for their complexity; unlike standard links, this weave is a dense, supple fabric of gold that flows directly out of the case. It carries a substantial weight, providing an unmistakeable wrist presence.
A preserved stone survivor
This piece is in very good condition for its age aside from a small scratch on the crystal. The Lapis Lazuli dial is perfect, retaining its deep cosmic blue hues and natural pyrite inclusions that give the stone its unique character. The 18k white gold case and basket-weave bracelet are in very good condition, showing the sharp textures of the original finish. Mechanically, the automatic movement is in great health after passing by our test bench.
The connoisseur’s Vacheron
This is for the person who wants a piece of the "Holy Trinity" that doesn't scream for attention via yellow gold. The combination of the cool-toned white gold and the vibrant Lapis makes it one of the most sophisticated "blue chip" vintage watches on the market. It is rare, it is verified, and it represents a peak moment in Vacheron’s creative timeline.

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….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
