Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Elégance Sartoriale Prince of Wales

The Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 (Reference 1400U/000G-B215) pays tribute to a daring design from the Roaring Twenties. The 40mm 18K white gold cushion-shaped case, with a thickness of 8mm, features a distinctive diagonal dial layout, allowing time to be read without turning the wrist—a feature originally tailored for drivers. The off-center crown at the 1 o'clock position adds to its unique character. Powered by the manual-winding Caliber 4400 AS, it offers a power reserve of approximately 65 hours. The silver-toned dial, adorned with black Arabic numerals and a small seconds sub-dial at 4 o'clock, reflects the avant-garde spirit of the original 1921 model. A sapphire crystal case back reveals the movement's meticulous finishing. Water-resistant up to 30 meters, it is paired with a dark brown alligator leather strap, completing this homage to a bold era in watch design.
