Specialist note

According to the Archives of Vacheron Constantin, the present watch was manufactured in 1947.

The present watch is an interesting lady's bracelet watch designed by Vacheron Constantin, featuring distinctive claw-shaped links. The firm followed a trend in the 1940s to create heavy bracelets of prominent shapes and mixed them with their own ideas on attachments and lugs.
