This is an exceptionally well-preserved and very rare 14k yellow gold Circa 1945 Vacheron Constantin "Art Déco" Hooded Lugs rectangular dress watch, featuring a striking original aged Two-Tone Enamel engraved silvered dial with applied arrow baton indexes and Arabic applied numerals. This fantastic example
This exceptional mid-1945 Vacheron Constantin embodies the refined geometry and understated glamour of late Art Deco watchmaking. Crafted in 14k yellow gold, the rectangular case is distinguished by dramatic hooded lugs that flow seamlessly into the black leather strap, giving the watch a strong architectural presence on the wrist. Its beautifully aged two-tone dial is especially captivating, combining engraved Arabic numerals and baton hour markers with delicate minute detailing and a subsidiary seconds register at six o’clock. Subtle enamel accents lend depth and definition to the engraved signature, while the warm patina developed over decades gives the dial an unmistakable vintage character. Elegant yet distinctly modern in proportion and execution, this Vacheron Constantin is a compelling example of the maison’s sophisticated mid-century approach to Art Deco design.
