Correction, I'm not sure if all of the monochrome dials are engraved

I'm sorry, it's been awhile for me to remember all the details. So I can't say for sure if all monochrome dials were engraved.
Still a big time lover of vintage V&C, but have stepped away for awhile.

Leafing through some of my old catalogues, this Vacheron Constantin Pocket Watch got me looking twice! Skeleton Pocket Watch reference 57100/000. Normally I am not much for "Barock" Skeleton movement... But this one I really like! The catalogue which is a...
Indeed, beautiful!

As for the T, not sure - normally T=Tritium, but here since its 90/00 and as far as I can tell, there are no luminous on the hands or dial... Not sure, in the catalogue there were no explanation. Best Blomman

As it's the only thing in common I can think of between the Mercators and Pocket Watches that are shown. Various dials were made, the monochrome ones were engraved and there are some beautiful, colorful, enamel dials as well.
Thank you ,i ve seen some email dials

I think VC's skeletonization work (or should I know call it open-work?) is some of the very best IMO. As many know, V&C's reference numbers used to refer to the specific case design. So the only difference between 57100 and 57500 was the diamonds set into...
Not only the diamonds missing on the the foto sample from AQ

The the chain ring is maybe a replaceent part, the case design isn't 100% ident, maybe there were some modifications during the time. Look e.g. at the name plate badge on the top it's not the same size. ...
I haven't seen one of these in a long time!

They are beautiful! The Les Complications collection was roughly from the late 90s-early 00s (don't remember the exact years) The watch was 43mm in diameter and ultra-thin. The movement is Cal. 1701SQ. It was the last true Pocket Watch movement used by VC...
