Cornes De Vache 1955 38.5MM Pink Gold

REGAL 18K PINK GOLD CHASSIS ARCHITECTURED WITHIN THE LEGENDARY COW HORNS BLUEPRINT

This exceptional timepiece projects absolute historical dominance through its refined multi-layered structural framework, achieving a classic 38.5 mm diameter scale and a perfectly calculated thickness profile of 10.9 mm to sit comfortably as an elite vintage-inspired dress chronograph. The entire integrated case body, slender polished bezel, and historic curved “cow horns” lugs are masterfully sculpted from solid 18K 4N Pink Gold—selected precisely by the Maison to present an opulent, warm pink metallic luster that tracks ambient light beautifully. The surfaces display a flawless mirror-polished finish that radiates absolute traditional warmth.

Breaking away from simple corporate contours, the timekeeper honors an absolute cornerstone of mid-century technical advancement: the original 1955 reference 6087 blueprint, celebrated as Vacheron Constantin’s pioneer water-resistant stopwatch shell. The fluid, prominent lugs architecture sweeps outward from the cushion-profile central container, establishing an iconic aesthetic stance that remains a definitive statement of creative authority. Certified with the historic Poinçon de Genève (Hallmark of Geneva) established in 1886, this watch complies with the highest standards of fine craftsmanship. Viewable via a sapphire window on the fluted caseback, the movement satisfies a daily-resilient 3 bar (30 m) water resistance behind a scratch-resistant sapphire shield.

PRISTINE BI-COMPAX INTERFACE ENCIRCLED BY A CELESTIAL TACHYMETER TRACK

The visual soul of this creation is beautifully laid bare across its highly customized, silver-toned dial interface, presenting an elegant velvet canvas that divides its chronological metrics across a perfectly balanced, symmetrical bi-compax layout calculated for optimum scannability:

1. At 3 O’clock & 9 O’clock: Houses the 30-minute chronograph totalizer counter and the small seconds sub-dial register. Both indicators are detailed with a fine, deep snailed counters concentric circular technique that injects superb dimensional depth to the dial face.
2. The External Perimeter zone: Encircled by a traditional circular railway-type minute counter paired with a sharp, brilliant blue-painted tachymeter scale, allowing the wearer to determine average speed via the sweeping stopwatch indicator.
3. The Metric Elements: The central baton-type hour/minute hands, applied index points, and prominent Roman numerals at 12 and 6 o’clock areuniformly sculpted from solid 18K gold, contrasted perfectly by heat-treated blued chronograph and minute-counter pointers for advanced legibility.

MANUFACTURE CALIBER 1142 ENGINE: UNCOMPROMISED COLUMN-WHEEL PRECISION

Ensuring absolute operational precision and tactile authority is the high-performance mechanical hand-wound movement, Caliber 1124, calculated, constructed, and hand-decorated entirely within Vacheron Constantin’s foundry in Geneva. Composed of 164 individual components and 21 jewels, this elite engine operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) with a movement thickness of 5.57 mm and a 27.5 mm diameter scale.

The caliber integrates a high-complication column-wheel system that controls the stopwatch command functions with fluid mechanical feedback, ensuring absolute click precision during timing trials. Utilizing a manual-winding engine establishes an intimate mechanical connection between the collector and the watch through the daily ritual of winding, while supplying a trusted 48-hour power autonomy. Stamped with the supreme Geneva Seal, every surface is chiseled with Côtes de Genève, circular-grained on the mainplate, and finished with hand-polished bevels.

PREMIUM GREEN CALFSKIN STRAP EMBODYING VINTAGE NOBILITY

To complement the unique historical refinement of this reference, the timepiece arrives on a premium calfskin leather strap executed in a rich contemporary Green tone, introducing a bold, highly sophisticated visual contrast against the warm pink gold chassis and silvered face. Secured to the wrist by an authentic 18K pink gold Ardillon pin buckle shaped to echo the lines of the Maltese Cross emblem, this contemporary masterpiece commands absolute distinction in the most exclusive lifestyle circles.
