This gorgeous, rare and extremely valuable vintage wristwatch is the Vacheron Constantin reference 6694 from the 1960s. The Batman is a magnificent work of art that reflects Vacheron Constantin's long tradition of creating exceptional timepieces.
Before we go into the stunning design of the case, dial and bracelet, we would like to emphasize the historical significance of the movement of this watch. Developed in 1962, the caliber K1072 is a chronometer-certified movement, which was very rare at the time. The COSC certification is a sign of exceptional precision and quality. It is not for nothing that the watch bears the proud name "Royal Chronometer". Among collectors, the caliber K1072 is considered one of the best automatic calibers of its time.
But this watch is much more than "just" a chronometer. Thanks to its design and appearance, we equate the watch with a work of art. The 18-carat gold case with its unique "Batman" lugs, which gave the watch its nickname, houses a warm and elegant champagne sunburst dial that takes on different nuances depending on the lighting conditions. The black inlays in the long hour markers, the minimalist minute track and fine printing give the watch an elegant and timeless aesthetic. The diamond in the company logo shows great attention to detail.
A highlight of this watch is the extremely rare gold mesh bracelet. This bracelet is not only a symbol of luxury, but also of craftsmanship and design excellence. The mesh structure allows a high degree of flexibility and adaptability to the wrist, making it more comfortable to wear.
On the wrist, this Vacheron Constantin will attract curious glances and create strong emotions.
