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.

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 ...
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. ...
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...

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
Lovely watches, Bill

Yiu are most correct, Bill. There's always a "next" watch (LOL) Joseph
I dare you to...

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...
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 :)
