Vacheron Constantin Toledo - 18K Yellow Gold
A rare and opulent interpretation of a Vacheron Constantin classic, this Toledo from the Historiques Collection is a masterclass in refined design and discreet luxury. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, this exquisite example features the iconic “Cioccolatone” case—so nicknamed for its resemblance to a square of rich chocolate. Measuring 30mm, the case has a soft, rounded-square profile that exudes timeless elegance and vintage charm, while maintaining a slim, dressy silhouette.
What elevates this piece even further is the factory-set diamond bezel—brilliant-cut stones precisely set to frame the dial with a luxurious sparkle. The white guilloché dial adds depth and classic texture, and is accented with diamond hour markers that catch the light without overpowering the watch’s refined aesthetic. Elegant gold hands complete the layout, offering legibility and balance.
Fitted with its original beaded mesh bracelet, this watch weighs a substantial 79.9 grams and offers an exceptionally comfortable, flexible fit on the wrist—a hallmark of Vacheron Constantin’s high jewelry watchmaking. The bracelet flows seamlessly from the case, enhancing the overall elegance and wearability of the piece. Sized as a unisex model, it’s a perfect choice for both men and women seeking a standout vintage piece that wears effortlessly and luxuriously. Can be sized accordingly and easily with the two screw-links included.
This watch hails from the brand’s Historiques Collection, which revives and reinterprets iconic designs from Vacheron Constantin’s storied past. The Toledo “Cioccolatone” is among the most recognizable and beloved of these reissues, inspired by models originally introduced in the 1950s. While the classic versions are already highly collectible, diamond-set examples like this one are exceptionally rare, making it a true gem for connoisseurs of fine and unusual Vacheron Constantin creations.
Powered by a manual wind movement, and retaining its original case, dial, and movement, this Toledo is not just a statement of elegance—it’s a rare and historically significant timepiece that represents the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking tradition. A perfect blend of art, heritage, and luxury.

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!!!
