A 70year oldVC Chronometre Royal
One of my favorite vintage time only watch in YG. I simply love the style of the case and lugs. Built for precision, it is still ticking strongly after all these years although I did not bother timing it A few recent still photos and WS (from a few season...
Superb
No corrosion issues on this nice gold case - ready for many decades more of pleasure
Many thanks for kind words, Vinnie!
A few oxidation around the 37 minute track but otherwise, yah, pretty good for a 70 year old! Best regards and stay healthy
Looks incredibly new...
Great watch and nice to see, it survived for seven decades. George
Many thanks dear George!
Ah! and now a bit of a pressure on me as the current owner to keep it at this condition ! Best regards and stay healthy
Many thanks dear W!
Agreed, it is one of the top brand in its days... And still is, for many collectors! Best regards and stay healthy
Oh yes, the bolder design language coming off the Art Deco period perhaps
Many thanks dear V, best regards and stay healthy
Wonderful VC!
It looks as good today as on its first day. Wear it in the best of health for another 70, and then pass it on! This one will never get old. Enjoy! Daniel
Many thanks dear Daniel!
Thank you for kind wishes and yah,..I hope I don't screw it up for my kids. Keeping it wound once in a while and kept in a dry place. Best regards to you and all at home too

There is something charming about these Vacherons' CR and PP's Calatravas from the 50s Best regards and stay healthy
Wonderful post!
We share a great admiration for the Chronometre Royal, particularly reference 4907. I searched for this reference a long time. With those incredible lugs it has a significant presence on the wrist and is a joy to wear. A brother says hello: ...
Ah! I was waiting perhaps for its twin brother to show up, and of course you have it too!
Excellent shot of a tip top condition VC 4907 ! The dial and case looks great! Be well and stay healthy my friend!
Absolutely awesome VC
The epitome of elegance: the charm of vintage, a superior caliber, a beautifully shaped case, yet quite discrete: what's not to love in this Chronometre Royal? The choice of a connoisseur big congrats to you, enjoy it and wear it in the best of health!
Michael, you said this better than I ever could !
Many many thanks and I will continue to post more Be well and stay safe my friend!
If they did, what an amazing pair a YG and a WG would make!
Is Yellow gold in the 50s.. the stainless steel of today ? Best regards and many thanks
They did, my friend!
Reference 4907 shows up most often in yellow gold, more rarely in pink gold and for the first time, according to Vacheron Constantin's research on the market, in white gold in 2016 at Phillips auction. Who knows, it may be a piece unique, but there is you...
Oh man! I learnt something new everyday!
Truly a great find by Phillips. Much appreciated my friend!
It must be nice to know that...
...other than a WIS gathering, you will always have the classiest watch in any room you walk into : )
Many thanks dear Cap'n !
I enjoyed taking photos of this one a lot. Best regards and stay healthy!
Gorgeous, and well photographed :-)
I think its time for VC to bring out a new Chronometre Royal, n'est pas?
many thanks Tick Talk !
A Chronometre Royal with a modern movement would be superb! Best regards
