The present Vacheron Constantin reference 4539, dating to the 1960s, is an exceptionally rare and highly attractive oversized dress watch from one of Geneva’s most prestigious manufactures. Executed in 18K rose gold, the watch features a remarkable 38 mm case, a size that was extraordinarily large for the period and remains highly desirable among collectors today. The case appears to be unpolished and retains strong proportions and elegant lines, enhanced by long 20 mm lugs that give the watch an impressive presence on the wrist. Vintage Vacheron Constantin watches of this era in such oversized dimensions are exceedingly rare, making this reference particularly noteworthy. The watch is fitted with a beautiful silvered guilloché dial, displaying subtle aging consistent with its age. The surface has developed a gentle patina, with some areas slightly darkened over time, adding charm and authenticity to the piece without detracting from its overall elegance. Inside beats a manual-winding movement, in keeping with the refined and classical nature of the watch. The case bears serial number 333’XXX, further situating it within the production of the 1960s. The watch is currently fitted with a brown leather strap (approximately 8.5 inches) paired with a gold-tone pin bucklethat is not signed by Vacheron Constantin. Oversized wristwatches from the 1960s are exceptionally difficult to encounter, particularly in solid gold and from one of the legendary “Holy Trinity” manufactures. With its rare proportions, elegant guilloché dial, and strong vintage character, this Vacheron Constantin reference 4539 represents a compelling opportunity for collectors seeking an unusual and historically significant mid-century dress watch.
