Vacheron & Constantin 4369 - For the US Market - Serviced w/ 1 year warranty.

ABOUT THIS WATCH: 

MANUFACTURER: Vacheron & Constantin

REFERENCE: 4369

YEAR: 1948

SERIAL: 31xxxx

CASE: The 25mm x 37mm case is in great shape. I believe the case to have remained unpolished after all these years. There are many tells to substantiate this claim. The case was manufactured by Bergerioux & Klaube. Its distinctive tear drop lugs are reminscent of the famed 4178 - one of three serially produced chronographs from the mid-twentieth century by the mason. The case exhibits rozy red patina in certain areas. The crown has been replaced in the past. The case is completed by its distinctive crystal. 

DIAL:  We have a silver enamel dial. The dial has been cleaned in the past. The signature, minute track and subsidiary second markers were done in engraved enamel. 

MOVEMENT: Vacheron manually wound caliber 458. The movement and case were imported into the United States for retail to the American market. Vacheron's finishing prowess that they had come to be known for by the mid twentieth century is on full display as we see a myriad of finishing techniques including cotes de Genève, pearlage, anglage and black polishing.  The movement is currently out for service and upon its return will be warrantied for one year. The buyer is responsible for shipping. 

BRACELET:  We have paired this rare configuration of a 4369 with our "Meli" strap - a handmade, honey brown, pebbled calfskin strap handcrafted by a single artisan in the heart of Italy. Italy has developed a reputation for their premium leather goods now for decades. Rest assured this strap is of the highest quality. 

ACCESSORIES: None. 

BOX/PAPERS: No. 

WARRANTY: One year warranty dated from completion of service. 

BANK WIRE/ZELLE PRICE: $5,500 shipped.
