Vacheron Constantin

OOOOOH, lovely!

I have a real soft spot for the 6694 out of all the CR wristies Had half a dozen over the years but I was fondest of these two polar opposites:

Fun Facts:

a) 6694 wasn't the only reference number used for this model; there were six others! The bracelet version above, for example, was officially Ref 7262.

b) The distinctive "Batman" lug design was also featured on a manual-winding model, Ref 6789.

c) LeCoultre used a similar style lug as well.

d) The lugs are hollow BTW.

thanks for sharing this handsome reference, the stepped case is quite distinctive! It appears to have original brushing?
