These are VERY nice!
Initially I did not like the Jubilee watch. I had seen the previous day dates with a flat dial and it just wasn't something I was into. However I have noticed that over the last 3-4 years I have grown more and more to like the different variants of this. Price continue to perform well whenever I see them crop up in auction meaning that collectors continue to desire it despite a seemingly LARGE limited production run.
You are a lucky man!
Carpe Diem
I went in to 2005 planning to celebrate Vacheron Constantin's 250th anniversary by purchasing two Vacheron Constantin watches. One was definitely going to be the Jubile 1755, and I succeeding in doing this that summer. The pattern on the dial was created ...

I WAS a lucky man......
And now someone else is the lucky owner of that piece. A lot of people do well by picking up watches from me when I have had my fill of them...... Bill
I have never seen the 1755 jubilee in person
But pix of the WG and platinum have always gotten me excited. Maybe someday I can see the exquisite dial in person. As for the Mercator, well I just love my Americas version. Great pix Bill, as always. Here is a companion shot of th Americas Hope to see y...
Joe,
I will probably be there this year and if you like I will bring my Jubilee 1755 PT. Joseph
Oh wow, fantastic !
Thanks and can't wait! I did not know you had the platinum piece. I look forward to finally meeting you! Best, Joe
Some Jubile 1755 platinum photos for you....
Hi Joe, You may have seen these in the past, but it never hurts to show them again. Bill ...
That was an excellent year, for you and for Vacheron.
Damn Mercator! ;) Best, Nicolas
You had better get one soon....
lest I think you are all talk and no action. :-) Bill
Lovely watches, Bill
Yiu are most correct, Bill. There's always a "next" watch (LOL) Joseph
As much as I like tending to my own collection....
I also enjoy the vicarious thrill of seeing what's next for the other forum participants. What's next, Joseph? :-) Bill
Carpe diem, indeed
It is funny how the watches you hunt for sometimes just appear when you least expect them to do so. The Jubilee is an extraordinary piece in any metal. I would love to have the chance to examine one in person. Your closeup of the dial reveals many of its ...
Way to go!!
Congrats on your Mercator....I would have preferred the Americas dial but most important was that mine was platinum with the etched dial. Bill
Thank you for this post! Due to it ....
... I went and looked up the auction you reference. Wow. Speechless. That could be one of the most magnificient diverse timepiece auction of all time, up there with the Art of Patek auctions. It truly showcases the incredible history and multi century cra...
There is a fair amount of history in the catalog....
so it is worth seeking out for those extras, and not just for the individual lot information and photographs. Bill
Very nice as always.
You are correct, right place right time can often trump a well laid out plan, but most things come around again if you wait long enough. And yes, you are convincing me there is always a next watch :)
We know what you next is....
so the question to you, sir, becomes what's next after what's next? :-)
