The present reference 7375 is part of the iconic Royal Chronometer family. Vacheron Constantin produced these watches for observatory trials, winning numerous prizes. Over the course of its history, the Geneva based manufacture's race for precision was embodied by this family of watches.



The present watch exhibits its original 18K white gold bracelet and houses the self-winding caliber K1072/1, a testimony of Vacheron Constantin's attention to detail. The outer segment of the rotor is made of solid 18K yellow gold further adorned by a beautiful guillochŽ motif and is equipped with a Gyromax balance. This watch is in overall nice condition.

Dial with small brown and black spots, particularly on the lower right and upper left quadrants of the dial. Hands nice and original with some signs of aging. Black lacquer missing either partially or completely on hour markers for 1, 2, 4 9, and 11. Case in very nice condition with some signs of wear commensurate with age and use. Bracelet in excellent condition.


Any reference to condition in a condition report will not include a full description of condition, and for example, may not specify all faults, alteration, adaptation, mechanical replacements or imperfections to the movement, case, or dial. Colors and shades may look different online or in printed materials than they look on physical inspection, and images may not clearly show the condition of a lot. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot in person and make their own evaluation of the lot. They must understand that any statement made by Fortuna Auction LLC ("Fortuna") is merely a subjective, qualified statement and does not constitute a representation, warranty, or assumption of liability by Fortuna.

Pre-owned watches, unless still in original packaging or never worn, will likely have some degree of wear and scratches. This should be expected for many of the watches offered in auction. Even if a watch is running and keeping time, bidders and buyers should expect that all movements will require maintenance. Fortuna recommends that all successful buyers promptly take their watches to a professional watchmaker for evaluation.
