Our remarks

VACHERON CONSTANTIN Automatic Gentleman's Watch, Reference 63940, 18 Karat Yellow Gold Caliber 1072 Year 1965 

We are proud to present this Vacheron Constantin gentleman's watch, reference 63940, a piece from 1965 that captures the manufacture's understated approach to fine watchmaking during that era: a compact gold case, a clean silver dial, and an outstanding automatic movement built entirely in house.

The case is crafted from solid 18 karat yellow gold, sized and proportioned in the classic mid-century manner, elegant rather than imposing, and built to be worn every day rather than kept for special occasions.

The silver dial features applied indices, giving the watch a clear and legible face that has aged gracefully. This restraint on the dial side is typical of Vacheron Constantin's design language from this period, prioritizing quiet precision over ornamentation.

Inside is the caliber 1072, Vacheron Constantin's own automatic movement, prized among collectors for its slim profile and the manufacture's traditional finishing, hand applied Côtes de Genève and polished bevels visible on the bridges.

The watch is fitted with a light brown calfskin leather strap, a fitting choice for a piece of this vintage and character.

This Vacheron Constantin Ref. 63940 is offered as:

- 18k Yellow gold screw-down case in 36mm

- Original gold index dial

- Condition: very good.

"A quiet classic for collectors who value Vacheron Constantin's understated mid-century design and in-house engineering over size or spectacle!"
