Vacheron Constantin Lapis Lazuli ref.2096 from 1970s

Vacheron Constantin wrote in a letter to its Authorized Distributors dated in the 1950s that they had never released more than 24 examples with the same design, which explains the countless variations of watches that can be found. This watch has a very rare and desirable TV-shaped case, rectangular with rounded edges, and an ultra-thin K1014 caliber without a second hand, which makes it a superb and elegant piece. Its "Jumbo" size of 36mm in diameter looks incredible on the wrist, the lapis lazuli dial has a deep blue hue color with a uniform patern and no imperfections, no cracks and no blemishes.
