Vacheron Constantin - a future collectible?

a future collectible?

a watch collector recently told me to also have a look at modern VCs which have been recently discontinued such as the Mercator, the Jump Hour, Chrono Historique etc... because according to him these watches being considered as second hand could still be had at good prices but could definately end up being tomorrow's colletibles!

Well my dealer had this watch on sale and I had my camera so...

I had only seen this model in photos and it never really hit a string with me but in real it is absolutely stunning, the guillochage is beautiful, the proportions are perfect and the moonphase is stunning, looks like shooting stars!

Ref 47052 in white gold, triple date with week days and moonphase, cal 1126Q

"moonwatch" like yours. I was to tell you when you posted a picture of yours on Watchrap. It has been said that "O*** is poor men's R***". I don't know that. But, what is true: Poor of you! I know guys who have a dozen of VCs on their stable! And others w...
