Vacheron Constantin Ref 6563 Steel Blue dial.

Sep 02, 2017,14:10 PM
 

A very surprising, nice and elegant watch I saw today in a watch shop in Paris. The Ref 6563 with this blue dial is a watch from the late 60's early 70's, but could have been unveiled in this year catalog as it is timeless and in great condition. 


Quite thin with a 8 mm height, it could be even thinner if the case back was not domed. 

36 mm case, but it wears a bit larger ( 38 mm would not have surprised me ). 

Manual winding movement, Cal 1002. 

Snap case back. 

And a superb blue dial... 








A watch I would have lot to bring back home with me... 

Best,

Nicolas

A great combination of case and dial. You are absolutely right. It looks right at home in a current VC catalogue. Best, Joseph

As you said a timeless timepiece...
