Additional Information: Wristwatch in 18K white gold has an integrated bracelet. This is a unique, custom design. The consignor, who was a Vacheron, LeCoultre, Universal, and Longines authorized dealer in the 1960s-1970s, shared the following about his investigation into the unusual face: "When I purchased the watch from its prior owner in the 1990s, I contacted Vacheron and was told they never made that model. After arguing with them that I am holding the watch in my hands and all indications were this was a factory made watch, the New York office contacted Switzerland and were advised this was a one of a kind, made-to-order piece and not a regular stock item. The original owner selected a special dial style and integrated bracelet. In my experience in the industry, it is not unheard of for a client to special order a watch assembled from different bracelets, factory diamond or gemstone dials, with all parts genuine and factory made, just in a different arrangement than offered to the public."
