A rare and exceptional example of Vacheron Constantin’s first-generation Overseas, the ref. 42052J seamlessly blends sport and luxury in solid 18K yellow gold. Inspired by the iconic 222, this reference features a beautifully proportioned 35mm tonneau case with integrated bracelet and the signature Maltese Cross bezel.
The watch is powered by the ultra-slim automatic caliber 1311 (based on Girard-Perregaux’s 3100), offering a quick-set date and smooth sweep. The white sunburst guilloché dial radiates elegance, complemented by vintage tritium hands and markers that have aged gracefully. The integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet is in excellent condition with minimal stretch, and features a hidden deployant clasp with micro-adjustment.
What makes this piece even more special is that it comes complete with its original box and papers, a true collector’s set that adds to its authenticity and long-term value.
