This attractive and fine Vacheron Constantin 6307 comes from the 1960s and features a 37mm stainless steel case and ivory dial.
A rare feature of this vintage watch is the case material: stainless steel. For brands like Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, most of the watches were made of precious metals, which is why vintage stainless steel watches are rare and sought after today.
This Vacheron Constantin 6307 offers a wonderful presence thanks to its elegant and clean look. This is ensured by some interesting features such as the large diameter of 37mm, the flat case profile, the fine stepped bezel, the domed acrylic crystal, the integrated winding crown and, of course, the fine dial whose calm ivory color harmonizes wonderfully with the silver indexes and hands. The minimalist design is created by the graceful minute scale on the dial periphery and the applied VC logo at 12 o'clock.
The heart of this watch is the caliber K1070, the predecessor of the legendary Vacheron Constantin caliber 1120. The rotor features an 18-carat gold rim and is mounted on four rubies.
