II have decided to sell my lovely Vacheron Constantin yellow gold Triple Date Calendar watch from the 1990’s. (Reference 47051).
Here is the description:
Vacheron & Constantin, Genève, No. 795925, case No. 721772,
Reference: 47051. Made in the 1990s. Very fine and elegant, self-winding, 18K yellow gold wristwatch with triple date and an 18K yellow gold Vacheron & Constantin tang buckle and Vacheron black crocodile strap.
Three-body, solid, polished, teardrop lugs, sapphire crystal. D. Two-tone silver, with applied yellow gold Roman numerals, outer ring with graduation for the date, apertures for the days of the week and the months (in French).
Yellow gold feuille hands. M. Cal.1126, rhodium-plated, fausses cotes decoration, 36 jewels, straight-line lever escapement, free-sprung monometallic balance adjusted to heat,

Polished chamfered stepped bezel; case, dial and movement signed, with an 18k gold Vacheron buckle.
Diameter: 36mm
Thickness: 10mm.
This is a beautiful elegant watch with the dial bezel, crown and buckle all original and in excellent condition.
The back of the case is engraved with the name “Vacheron Constantin, Geneve and the Vacheron Maltese Cross Logo, and the case number.
There is a very superficial light scratch at the 12 o’clock position and 2 others at the 3 o’clock position. None affect the engravings. They can only be seen from a certain angle and do not show up in the unretouched photos. (below)
The watch keeps excellent time. It is guaranteed genuine. I have ordered the Extract from the Archives, which is included with the purchase.
This model does not come up for sale very often, privately or at auction. I have not seen a YG model up for sale for several years. WG ones appear from time to time. I have never seen a RG version.
It is a wonderful example of Vacheron’s designs from the 1990’s The inspiration for the design was a Vacheron watch from the 1940’s with the stylized flattened tear-drop lugs, lsuch as the model Reference 4178.
Production of the 47051was discontinued about 2001.
Asking price is $15000USD which includes shipping in the U.S. and Canada.
Please contact me with any questions.
Thanks for looking. And please excuse the over-laid text. It is there to discourage misappropriation of the images.
