History and Significance
Founded in 1755, Vacheron Constantin is the world’s oldest continuously operating watch manufacturer. Throughout the 20th century, the brand became renowned for its dedication to craftsmanship, precision, and understated design.
In the 1970s, Vacheron explored new territory by incorporating natural stone dials into its dress watches. These dials, often crafted from materials like Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, and Tiger’s Eye, required exceptional skill due to their fragility and uniqueness. Each stone dial was individually cut and polished, resulting in subtle variations that made every example one of a kind.
This particular piece captures that spirit perfectly; its deep blue Lapis Lazuli dial set against 18k yellow gold creates a striking yet refined contrast. It’s an ideal example of the maison’s artistry during an era of bold experimentation in form and material.
Writer’s Thoughts
There’s something poetic about a Vacheron stone dial watch. The blue of the Lapis catches light like a night sky, giving it a quiet depth that changes with every angle. It’s a watch that speaks softly but carries immense presence, especially when paired with a simple leather strap. Few vintage pieces feel this sculptural and elegant at once.

Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.
