Ref. 4072. Very fine and rare, 18K yellow gold wristwatch with square button chronograph Made circa 1950.
Dial, case and movement signed, in very good condition
NOTE: Reference 4072, one of Vacheron Constantin's most popular chronograph models, was in production from 1938 until the early 1970s. It existed with oval-shaped chronograph buttons or with the better known rectangular version, the bezel was either bevelled or flat. Production of the 4702 began in the late 1930s, the decade that marked the completion of the watch’s seismic move from pocket to wrist, making this classically proportioned chronograph a nice snippet from the early years of wristwatch production in earnest.
