Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 82035/000R 40mm

The Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921, a remarkable reinterpretation of a 1920s driver's watch, and one of the most iconic designs in the Historiques collection. Crafted in 18K rose gold, this elegant 40mm timepiece features a cushion-shaped case, a diagonally oriented dial, and a crown uniquely placed at 1 o’clock — a daring and unconventional layout that made it a favorite among early American collectors.

The watch showcases a refined silver-toned dial with a fine-grained finish, accented by Breguet style Arabic numerals, blued hands, and a snailed small seconds sub-dial at 4 o’clock. Under the hood beats the in-house manual-winding caliber 4400 AS, offering an impressive 65-hour power reserve and visible through the sapphire caseback. The movement is beautifully hand-finished and proudly bears Geneva Seal, a hallmark of superior craftsmanship and precision.

Worn on a black alligator leather strap with a matching rose gold buckle, this model blends vintage charm with modern horological pedigree. The 1921 American is more than a watch — it’s a celebration of timeless design, offbeat elegance, and technical mastery from one of the most revered maisons in Swiss watchmaking
