Vacheron Constantin - Historiques - Gray Dial

A meticulous 1:1 recreation of the iconic Historiques 222 featuring a sophisticated sunburst gray dial paired with a full stainless steel case and integrated bracelet. The dial’s vertical satin texture produces a subtle opaline effect, shifting between slate and steel-gray tones under changing light. Applied baton indices are precisely 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, maintaining the balanced and functional layout of the original 222. The gray dial emphasizes legibility while imparting a refined and contemporary vintage elegance. The stainless steel case combines brushed and polished surfaces 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 stainless steel bracelet features finely brushed surfaces with polished bevels along the links, ensuring smooth articulation around the wrist and a cohesive aesthetic. The hidden deployant clasp completes the refined profile. A custom 1:1 movement powers the hours, minutes, and date functions, faithfully replicating the original caliber’s architecture. The movement displays intricate technical engraving, a Geneva-style striped rotor, beveled edges, and calibrated mass for smooth and stable winding performance.
