Vacheron Constantin Dress - Integrated 18K White Gold Opal Dial

Trade In
Details
A Union Of Horology And Gemology
Vacheron Constantin is the oldest continuously operating watch manufacturer in the world, a distinction that carries immense weight. This piece from the 1970s is a pure expression of the brand's confidence during an era of bold design. It combines high-level watchmaking with the jeweler's art, centering the entire design around a natural opal stone dial. This is not simply a watch, but a piece of high craft that leverages the brand's unimpeachable heritage to create something truly singular.
A Time Capsule Example
This example is defined by its extraordinary, near-new-old-stock condition. The 18K white gold case and integrated bracelet feel as though they just left the Geneva workshop. It is a true time capsule piece, preserved in a way that is almost never seen in watches of this period. The presence of the original sticker on the caseback confirms that this watch has lived an exceptionally sheltered life.
Pristine, Unpolished, And Preserved
This watch is in excellent condition. The 18K white gold case is unpolished, retaining the sharp, original factory finishing. The opal dial is vibrant. The integrated white gold bracelet is crisp and feels unworn. Even the original Vacheron Constantin factory sticker remains affixed to the caseback. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Discerning Collector
This is a piece for someone who understands the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking and appreciates the organic beauty of natural materials. It wears less like a traditional timepiece and more like a fine bracelet. The daily ritual of winding the manual movement creates a quiet, physical connection to the two and a half centuries of craft that Vacheron Constantin represents. It is an heirloom-quality object for a collector who values condition and rarity above all else.

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….
