Specialist note

This watch is distinguished by its charismatic two-tone silvered dial, and its generally very good, original overall condition.

Reference 4072, one of Vacheron Constantin's most popular chronograph models, was in production from 1938 until the early 1970s. It existed with oval-shaped chronograph buttons or with the better known rectangular version, the bezel was either bevelled or flat.
