Lot Essay
According to the Archives of Vacheron Constantin, the present watch was manufactured in 1951. Delivered with an unsigned, detached 18K gold link bracelet.
This reference 4537 is one of the exceedingly few examples of this rare model to appear in public, furthermore distinguished by its very good, original overall condition.
Reference 4537 was in production from the late 1940s until 1953, made in a very small series of 258 pieces in pink gold and 246 in yellow gold, all with subsidiary seconds but with different dial colours and layouts. Its most notably features are the large 38 mm. diameter, especially keeping in mind the average size of 33 mm. of a gentleman's watch, making it very wearable today. Other equally noteworthy style elements are its raised lugs, apparently attached to a small border to the outer border of the enlarged bezel, rendering it a very unique appearance.
