Vacheron & Constantin 18K WG Basket Weave Design ref 81162 circa 2000s

A very striking Vacheron Constantin ref. 81162 in 18K white gold, featuring an unusual and beautifully executed basket weave finish extending across the case, bezel and integrated bracelet.

The 35mm case surrounds a finely textured silver-white dial with applied white gold baton indexes, Maltese cross emblem and simple two-hand configuration. The intricate geometric dial works especially well against the heavily textured white gold exterior, giving the watch a wonderfully cohesive and distinctive appearance.

Powered by the Vacheron Constantin caliber 1400 manual wind movement, visible through the sapphire display back and beautifully finished in the traditional Geneva manner.

Fitted with its matching 18K white gold basket weave bracelet measuring approximately 7 inches, with concealed butterfly deployant clasp.

A particularly elegant and unusual Vacheron Constantin, combining classic understated proportions with an exceptionally rich and tactile white gold finish.

We are huge fans of this texture bracelet design. This watch looks good, feels good, and wears “good!” The bracelet has mass and depth, but without excessive weight.

As stunning a dress, wedding, or tuxedo watch as you are likely to find anywhere. In excellent operating condition, no paperwork included, but of course guaranteed genuine and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation.
