It wasn't until the middle part of the 20th Century that Vacheron

have been a the 150th anniversary of the firm, and may have been
honored with some watches commemorating that Jubile year for them.
However, marking the movement with "Jubile" seems like a too subtle way
of doing that.
That is just my best guess. I will forward your question to someone at VC to see if my guess is correct.
