Notes

This wristwatch is one of a group of watches known as 'Les Historiques'. All the Vacheron & Constantin 'Les Historiques' wristwatches are based on previous case designs from earlier produced Vacheron & Constantin wristwatches. In particular, this 'Les Historiques Automatic' is based on a case design from the mid to late 1940's.
