I know there are a fair few Vacherons on the forum, but in relative terms we don't see many of them. I thought it might be nice to start a photo thread for the brand, though, as IMO they're real lookers.
Mine is a 1st generation Overseas 49140 from 2001. Launched in 1999 and in production until 2004, this was Vacheron’s first sports chronograph. It was made in about 500 pieces in yellow gold and a bit over 2000 in steel; this reference used the Frederic Piguet 1185 as the base for what became the VC automatic calibre 1137, although when Vacheron were finished with it, well... it looked quite beautiful (albeit that you can’t see the damned thing!). In its revised form it also sported the large date, one of the things for which the brand would become known.
Just to add, I still have a WTB for a 222, if anyone can assist!
