Lot Essay

The American 1921, named after its original year of production, was a bold and innovative creation that perfectly embodied the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Its distinctive diagonally placed dial allowed for effortless time reading without requiring the wearer to rotate their wrist, a design ahead of its time.
The present Historiques reinterpretation stays true to the elegance of the original Vacheron Constantin model, featuring Arabic numerals on a refined silver dial within a white gold case. Retaining the signature crown positioned between one and two o’clock, this manually wound timepiece seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern craftsmanship. Designed as a contemporary tribute to a classic, it pays homage to both historical innovation and timeless style.
