Historique American 1921 - China Special Edition
I was doing my usual boutique run, and visited the new Vacheron Constantin boutique in IFC Mall, Shanghai. The boutique has been open for around 3 months, and replaces what used to be the Franck Muller boutique.
One of the pieces that caught my eye was an unusual Historique American 1921, in yellow gold. Apparently this is a Special Edition for China. Priced the same as the rose gold with no special indications that this is a China special edition, I found the combination particularly alluring.
Warmest,
Dean

Yellow gold may enhance the vintage look
Always love the 1921. Rose gold or yellow gold both look great! Cheers Robin
Welcome to PuristSPro my friend!
So glad you have finally made your first post! :) Could you elaborate on why yellow case due to the dial? Better color matching? Cheers Robin

1921 boutique edition in yellow gold because of its dial...
The dial and the index numbers are in yellow colour to match with the yellow gold case, I see rose gold case will be better matched with the standard production dial. IMPO Thanks ...
Yes indeed
This was a NY Boutique Limited Edition, 64 pieces. The China version is the standard dial, and not limited although production numbers will be low. Both yellow gold iterations are gorgeous. Thanks for posting, and welcome to this wonderful community. Dean...

It would be a tough call to choose between the rose gold and yellow gold with the standard dial. Bill
I got it from a collector in NYC..
Beside this excellent 1921 boutique watch I also earn myself a good friend,, we are now communicated in emails talking a lot on watches and a little on work. Whether the case in yellow gold or rose gold doesn't matter much, what's important also the colou...
Well, you meet some nice people...
...among the watch collectors, and especially, I find, among those who collect VCs, if I may say so. I now am pretty sure from whom you bought the Boutique 1921, and all you say does not surprise me. I had also considered this piece when it was for sale. ...
Thanks Dean, I made a quick trip to IFC yesterday
I met Ohpera, the Boutique Manager, and asked to see the YG 1921 as well. This YG version will be available worldwide in 2015, but it is only available in China until then. Best Regards, Dan ...
