Vacheron Constantin "Carabelli-Milano" from 1941

Vacheron Constantin in a letter to its authorized distributors dated in the 1950s indicated that it had never released more than 24 specimens with the same design, which explains the countless variations of watches that can be found.

This watch features a rare and desirable pristine two tone dial and wonderful case proportions thanks to the 20mm lug width, making it a superb and elegant piece, not to mention the ultra rare and highly coveted double signature "Carabelli-Milano". We acquired this timepiece directly from the original owner son, who shared with us the story of how his father leaved Italy in seek of better opportunities in Mexico many years ago and brought along this beautiful watch strapped to his wrist.

The condition of this piece is unparalleled, the passage of time generated a patina with violet and reddish hues on the watch dial adding personality and character.
