Vacheron Constantin Hour Glass 4591 Pink Gold

rare pink gold case - guillochè dial

Description
This fine Vacheron Constantin reference 4591 dates from the 1950s and is a rare pink gold version with a guilloché dial. This high-quality luxury watch is a prime example of unusual timepieces from Vacheron Constantin - the oldest watch manufacturer in the world.

The futuristic case shape of the reference 4591 resembles an hourglass, hence the nickname. Thanks to the case sides tapering towards the crown, the case gains symmetry, which is lost in most watches due to the crown. Filigree lugs and a domed "Bombé" crystal make for a very elegant look.

The creative and unusual design of this watch is complemented by the rare guilloché dial. Fine line patterns have been worked into the surface of the dial using an elaborate process. The pink gold hands and markers on the guilloché surface reflect the light in different ways creating a magical look.

The pink gold version of reference 4591 is very rare. In combination with the special guilloché dial, this is a truly hard-to-replace, extremely valuable and collectible vintage piece.
