WHY WE LOVE IT: cal477 was the first automatic-movement used by Vacheron and we have never seen one in a whitegold case before: made 1951 as certified in the excerpt of the VC-archive.
The first and important automatic Vacheron, 1951: a bumper-automatic in rare whitegold execution: We had several of these very important VCs but so far all in yellowgold. And thats no surprise when we take into account that no more than 15% of the overall output was made in whitegold in the 1950s.
Whats even more remarkable: it comes in excellent condition, with Geneva gold-hallmarks deep and visible below the lugs, the dial in almost immaculate condition and the cal477 serviced right now.
