Notes

Gifted in 1986, this mid-size automatic version of the famous "222" designed by Jorg Hysek has been kept in excellent condition, showing little polish with crisp angles, tight pin holes and mint hallmarks. The bracelet made by Gay Freres for Vacheron Constantin is very tight indicating the watch was worn very little, an overall mint example of this reference.
