One of the oldest watchmaking companies, Vacheron was founded in 1755 in Geneva, Switzerland. As part of the "Holy Trinity," along with Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, VC are known for their high-quality and unique design language. Even today, however, the brand remains relatively under-appreciated considering their significant contribution to horology. When looking at certain popular integrated bracelet models such as the Patek Nautilus or AP Royal Oak, one might argue that Vacheron's Overseas is often overlooked. 

This particular example, circa '23 houses a sunburst satin-finished lacquered blue dial which is widely regarded as the best blue on the market. This pairs perfectly to its stainless steel case which offers 150m of water resistance. It also boasts a Geneva sealed cal. 5100 with beautifully finished 22k rotor, offering 60 hour power reserve. For any medium to larger sized wrists, this makes for a compelling and practical sport watch, especially given its quick release feature for strap changes. This set comes complete from new, including inner and outer boxes, warranty card, booklets and both VC straps which are in dark blue leather and rubber. In addition to the original stainless steel band, this piece is also offered with an updated and more tapered VC bracelet (3k USD value from the AD), making it a great overall value.
