Vacheron Constantin $20 Gold Coin Watch, 1 Owner, Rare,
Item History & Price
To your attention, a stunning rare Vacheron & Constantin $20 gold coin watch featuring the world's thinnest mechanical wind movement rarely seen offered to the highest bidder at no reserve auction.
Concealed within this American $20 Liberty Head double eagle gold coin is the world’s thinnest mechanical wristwatch movement in production, the cal. 1003 manual-winding movement, measuring just 1.64 mm thick. This example was made in 1970's.
The watch’s case is much mo...re complicated than it appears, as it’s comprised of two cases. The exterior case, which appears to be formed from a single coin, is in actuality derived from two coins. The face is cut from the first coin to form the cover, and the second coin is hollowed out to form the exterior case’s base. The case measures 35 mm in diameter, with a thickness of 4.5 mm.
Vacheron adds a reeded rim around the circumference of the case that duplicates the look found on the original coins. Amazingly, with two cases, the overall thickness of the watch measures just 4 mm! This is about double the thickness of the original coin, which measures approx. 2 mm.
This watch is in amazing condition and keeps excellent time! Rarely worn, it has been sitting in a private collection for over 40 years! We have the original sales receipt from 1976 and a certificate of appraisal from 1981.
Guaranteed authentic!
In business since 1967, we have been buying and selling jewelry and watches for over 50 years! BBB accredited with an A+ rating. BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
