Vacheron Constantin White Gold Ultra Thin Ref. 4961

Offered for sale is a stunning example of the Vacheron Constantin Reference 4961, a timepiece that defines the "extra-flat" dress watch era. Crafted in elegant 18k white gold, this reference was designed to showcase the pinnacle of horological engineering in a whisper-thin profile.  The round 18kt white gold case is 31.5mm in diameter with a remarkably slim profile. The minimalist design is accentuated by elegant, subtly bowed lugs. The pristine silvered dial featuring applied white gold baton hour markers and matching needle-thin hands is signed "Vacheron & Constantin, Genève" with the "Swiss" designation at 6 o'clock. This beauty is powered by the legendary Calibre 1003 manual-wind movement. At just 1.64mm thick, this movement is a masterpiece of finishing and remains one of the thinnest mechanical calibres ever produced.
