- Dial Display and Movement Specification
- The source describes the watch as featuring an 'original applied silver dial with blued steel hands.' Direct observation of the face shows a rectangular cream-silver dial signed 'VACHERON CONSTANTIN GENEVE' and 'SWISS'. Powering the watch is an 18-jewel manual-wind movement recorded in the dealer's text under movement number 402759. The internal movement and any inner case markings are not depicted in the source photograph, leaving these specifications to dealer report rather than visual confirmation.
- Dating, Restoration, and Documentation Limits
- The dealer dates the watch to circa 1930 and claims it 'bears a full restoration' alongside an 18-month warranty and excellent condition. The specific interventions involved in this restoration are not detailed in the source. Internal case back hallmarks, movement caliber designations, and physical serial stampings are not recorded in this source photograph, meaning verification of caliber identity and metal stamps remains unconfirmed by visual evidence.
