The Watch: The Vacheron Constantin Quai de l’Île 4500S/000A-B196 blends angular, art deco design with centuries of Genevan craftsmanship. Named after the historic Geneva district where the brand has operated since 1755, the model reflects a contemporary reinterpretation of classic Vacheron values.
The 41mm stainless steel case features a distinctive cushion shape with sharply contoured lines and alternating brushed and polished surfaces. The black dial offers exceptional legibility and depth, showcasing a multi-layered construction with applied markers, luminous hands, and a subtle date display integrated into the minute track.
Inside is the in-house automatic Caliber 5100, visible through the sapphire caseback. The movement carries the Geneva Seal, operates at 28,800 vph, and offers a 60-hour power reserve from its twin barrels.
Condition: Light wear consistent with careful use. The case and buckle show small surface marks, while the dial and crystal remain flawless. The watch runs accurately and performs to Vacheron’s high standards.
