Vacheron costantin "teardrop lugs" in pink gold, guilloche dial

The Vacheron Constantin Reference 4126 is a key model from the Manufacture's production, created between the late 1930s and the early 1950s. This timepiece embodies the aesthetic transition of high-end watchmaking during that era. Its distinctive feature is the Teardrop Lugs (Anse a Goccia), a sculptural design element that gives the case a bold profile and a wrist presence superior to its nominal diameter of 34-35 mm. It is important to note that these cases are often attributed to the renowned casemaker Wenger, recognizable by the "Geneva Key #1" hallmark. This particular example, crafted in Rose Gold, enhances the curved lines of the case. The dial is configured with a refined sector layout: a central zone treated with a Guilloché finish contrasts with the outer ring, typical of the more elaborate versions. The applied metal indices—featuring an Arabic numeral at 12 and baton/dot markers—ensure clear legibility and a strong visual balance. The 4126 is a classic sub-second model at six o'clock, housing the manually wound Calibre 453 movement. It represents the fusion of a highly distinctive design and Vacheron Constantin’s solid mechanical tradition. NOTE: Some marks or spots on the dial are reflections or dust on the crystal and are due to high intensity lighting used while photographing. They are imperceptible to the human eye with normal lighting. Marks or scratches on the dial will be stated priorly.
