Vacheron Constantin Overseas 42040 First Series w/Archive Papers - *Unpolished* - 1998
- Unit price
- /per
When looking at certain popular integrated bracelet models such as the Patek Nautilus or AP Royal Oak trading well into the six figures, one might argue that Vacheron's Overseas is highly undervalued and overlooked. VC is of course part of the "Holy Trinity" of Watchmaking and is finally garnering more attention from collectors as of late.
This particular example on offer is an early variant and first series which features a gorgeous white guilloche dial with tritium indices. The watch appears completely unpolished and has archive papers that were just delivered.
CONDITION REPORT
Dial: No blemishes to note of. All of the tritium plots have aged into a gorgeous and even color. They are all present and full under magnification.
Bezel: Light signs of use consistent with age. Normal hairline marks.
Hands: Match one another - all of the luminous material is present and stabile.
Case: Appears completely unpolished with factory bevels. No significant dents but shows honest signs of use. Correct signed crown.
Bracelet: Very tight and also appears totally unpolished. Comes with 14 links and will fit up to a 7 inch wrist with the extra link included.
Crystal: There are a couple of scratches but they aren't too distracting. The next owner could have it replaced without hurting the value of the piece.
SPECIFICATIONS
Reference: 42040
Serial: 694XXX
Dimensions: 37mm wide, 8mm thick.
Movement: Automatic VC 1310 caliber.
