A refined example of mid-century watchmaking, this Vacheron & Constantin ref. 4361 features the iconic “crab lugs” case design, emblematic of the Maison’s 1940s creativity. Crafted in 18k pink gold, the case measures approximately 35 mm in diameter, offering balanced proportions and elegant wrist presence. The warm doré (gilt-toned) dial displays applied gold indexes and subsidiary seconds, enhancing its timeless sophistication. Powered by a manual-winding mechanical movement (cal. 453/455 family), the watch reflects the precision and craftsmanship of the era, with traditional finishing and 17 jewels. A rare and highly collectible piece, distinguished by its sculptural lugs and refined vintage character.
