More information
Introduced in 1938 and produced until the early 1970s, reference 4072 is considered one of the most refined and representative chronographs of Vacheron Constantin. With an extremely limited annual production and an estimated total of around 1,100 pieces, this model remains a rare example of the perfect fusion between elegance and mechanical engineering. The 35 mm gold case, with impeccable proportions, houses a beautiful two-register salmon dial, enhanced by a naturally developed patina that accentuates its historical character while maintaining full legibility and original charm.

Every detail of this timepiece, from the thin and harmonious lugs to the square chronograph pushers, reflects the Maison’s artisanal mastery, as well as the technical and design creativity of the era. The attention to detail, refined finishing of the components, and balanced proportions make reference 4072 a chronograph that not only functions as a precision instrument but also stands as a true collector’s piece, symbolizing Vacheron Constantin’s excellence and aesthetic vision in post‑war production.
