  Description : Manufacturer: Vacheron Constantin;Year: 1945;Reference No: 4178;Movement No: 437'670;Case No: 288'885;Material: 18K pink gold;Calibre: Manual, cal. 434, 19 jewels;Bracelet/Strap: Leather;Clasp/Buckle: 18k pink gold Vacheron Constantin pin buckle;Dimensions: 36mm. Diameter;Signed: Case, dial, movement and buckle signed;Accessories: Accompanied by Vacheron Constantin Extract from the Archives confirming production in 1945, further accompanied by a Vacheron Constantin pouch;Catalogue Essay;Launched in 1940 and in production until 1964, Vacheron Constantin's reference 4178 is the model Vacheronistas immediately designate as an icon and the chronograph most associated with Vacheron Constantin. Immediately recognizable thanks to its gorgeous and inimitable teardrop lugs, the 4178 is also considered one of the most beautiful chronograph watches ever made due to its balanced proportions and near-perfect symmetry.;During its production, the reference 4178 housed two different chronograph calibers: V492 and V434. Research shows us that reference 4178 housing caliber 434 was made in only 280 examples in pink gold. The present watch is in overall excellent condition retaining the faceted lugs and sensual curves that collectors find so attractive. The silver opaline dial, also in superb condition, has a discreet outer blue scale which along with the lack of any extra indication gives the dial a certain zen like serenity. The present lot in such a superb condition is a must have for any the savvy collector.
