Lot Essay

Born in the midst of the 1970s quartz-crisis, the reference 222 was launched to commemorate the 222nd anniversary of Vacheron Constantin. A response to the already existing Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus, the present reference was designed by the renowned watch designer Jörg Hysek with an ultra-thin angular case, an integrated bracelet and a two-part case with an ingenuous screw-down serrated bezel. Radically diverging from the already existing design notions of the brand, the wristwatch paved the way for the future sport timepieces of the manufacture.

The present timepiece is the stainless steel version of the model and features a grey dial. It was also offered in steel and gold and full gold construction. The model was produced for only seven years and a total of approximately 720 timepieces were manufactured across all metals and dial combinations.
