Icon20 FS: VACHERON CONSTANTIN 18k White Gold JUBILEE 1755 Limited Edition ~ ref 85250/000G

Good day, TRF

Formalities out of the way first: Overnight shipping and insurance are included in US, will ship overseas, but at the buyer's expense. Price quoted is for payment by bank wire, PayPal/credit cards are OK, but buyer pays the fees (typically around 3% of amount, higher for AMEX). Returns accepted if the watch is misrepresented in ANY way. Have TONS of references, on and off TRF. Face-to-face in Southern Ohio or Northern Kentucky is fine, we can meet at an AD if that makes you comfortable. PM me with any questions, or call/text me at 513 680 6239 ~ Greg


Ladies and Gentlemen, we are entering true grail territory here!

For your consideration, a very rare (the only one offered for sale online), 100% complete and mint


Vacheron Constantin 18k White Gold “Jubilee 1755” limited edition of 501 pieces

Ref 85250/000G-9141 ~ Last known retail - $41,500

priced at $31,900


actual watch for sale, many more pics below

Made only in 2005 to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of Vacheron Constantin, the oldest operating watch manufacturer in the world. Upon announcement of this release, most of the 501 examples were pre-sold, making this one of the most difficult Vacherons to find. Very desirable, as this is the large 40mm case and an absolute stunner of a watch, with fine knurling on bezel and case-back, hand-guilloche dial, hour and minute hand in 18k gold, fan shaped, inspired by 1926 vintage Vacheron Constantin model. Seconds hand in blued-steel, baton shaped. Counter hands in blue steel, dagger-shaped. The dial bears a prestigious Poincon de Geneve quality hallmark, and 1755 – 2005 secret signature at ‘12’.

CONDITION: Mint, near perfect, never polished. True safe queen - bought by a collector in 2005, worn to one watch event and placed in the safe. The only time it has been worn, it was put on a different strap, so the original dark-brown alligator VC strap (which is on the watch now) is absolutely virgin. Pictures will tell the story!


COMES 100% COMPLETE WITH:

Outer black VC box

Inner large special VC box made of lacquered wood with gold hinges, cream leather interior bearing the 1755-2005 Jubilee hallmark

Special “Certificate of Jubilee” specific to this exact watch with matching numbers

Leather 3-ring binder with the manual, warranty, and distributor information

Complete paperwork in a special envelope, including the Service Booklet, Certificate of Origin, and the Movement Certificate, all with matching numbers

Specific gold-tipped VC pusher

Soft cloth drawstring pouch to store the watch

Golden VC loupe with leather pouch

Un-used cream VC polishing cloth

Iron VC seal tag with red/yellow string
