Vacheron Constantin - Historiques - Black Dial - YG Strap

A meticulous 1:1 recreation of the iconic Historiques 222 featuring a deep matte black dial paired with a full yellow gold case and integrated yellow gold bracelet. The dial’s subtle sunburst finish creates depth, shifting between charcoal and jet black tones under changing light. Applied baton indices are faceted and polished with luminous channels, while slender baton hands faithfully reproduce the proportions of the original model. The date window at 4:30 is executed with crisp numerals and precise printing, preserving the balanced and functional layout of the original 222. The black dial enhances legibility while conveying a bold and refined vintage elegance. The yellow gold case combines brushed and polished finishes with sharply beveled edges. The hexagonal bezel integrates seamlessly with the case, preserving the signature geometric lines and architectural identity of the 1977 original. The integrated yellow gold bracelet mirrors the case’s luxurious finish, with brushed surfaces accented by polished bevels along each link. The bracelet flows smoothly around the wrist, offering both comfort and a bold, refined presence. The hidden deployant clasp ensures a clean and seamless profile. A custom 1:1 movement drives the hours, minutes, and date functions, faithfully replicating the original caliber’s architecture. The movement features intricate technical engraving, a Geneva-style striped rotor, beveled edges, and calibrated mass for smooth and stable winding performance.
