Accompanied by a Vacheron Constantin Certificate of Authenticity. This watch represents a fine and early example of a Vacheron Constantin alarm watch in its original three piece consular case. When one opens the silver case, the movement hinges outward to reveal a finely finished movement featuring a balance bridge pierced and engraved with the signature VACHERON & C.
