Reasons to bid

Vacheron Constantin launched the Harmony collection in 2015 to celebrate its 260th anniversary. The collection mainly comprises chronographs, and only three Harmony Dual Time models are equipped with a zone time display. The characteristic, very smooth and lenticular cushion case has its origins in Vacheron Constantin’s early wrist chronographs from the 1920s. In addition to the case shape, the Harmony has inherited an Art Deco-style dial with a detailed minutes and seconds track, Arabic numerals with open 6 and 9 as well as magnificent spade and whip hands. The asymmetrical layout with the sub-dial for the second time zone at 4 o’clock and the day/night sub-dial at 8 o’clock gives the watch a modern touch. The Harmony collection turned out to be short-lived, which is a great advantage from a collector’s point of view. This Harmony Dual Time Ref. 7810S/000G-B050 in white gold is limited to 625 pieces. The caliber with a solid gold rotor engraved with a fleurisanne motif and the prestigious Poinçon de Genève make it even more attractive.
