Lot Essay

Born in the midst of the 1970s quartz-crisis, the reference 222 was launched to commemorate the 222nd anniversary of the 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.

Offered in very good overall condition, the present timepiece is the all gold version of the model, which at the time was produced in steel, steel and gold as well as entirely made of gold. The 222 was produced for only seven years with a total of approximately 720 timepieces across all metals and dial combinations.
