VACHERON CONSTANTIN, OVERSEAS REF. 49140/423A-8790, A STEEL AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH

Vacheron Constantin debuted the Overseas range model as a harder wearing, more robust iteration of the 222. In more recent years, the model has seen updates to the shape, bezel and bracelet. The present lot represents one of the original iterations of this range.

This Overseas chronograph first-generation reference 49140 displays a striking silvered dial, with the date displayed in a traditional "double guichet" (double window) fashion - a rare feature Vacheron Constantin has become known for. Being a first-generation, the present lot is also referred to as Phase 1.
