Here is a stunning, all original Vacheron Constantin Phidias from 1990 in near mint condition. The silver guilloche dial is in excellent condition, with the VC Maltese cross at 12 o’clock and the written logo below. It has golden strip hour markers. Under magnification, a few spots of light wear can be seen around the edge of the dial at around 2-3 and 4-5 o’clock. The golden fils hands are in very fine condition. The golden framed window at 3 o’clock displays the quick-set date. The quick-set function should only be used with the hour hand at the bottom half of the dial.

The solid 18K gold bezel is in very fine condition with only light overall wear. The stainless steel case with the original gold crown and integrated lugs is in excellent condition, with a brushed face and polished sides. The stainless steel case back has the black Phidias medallion at its center and is in excellent condition.

The integrated stainless steel bracelet with 18K inlays is in very fine condition, showing little stretching and very light overall wear. It is large enough for moderately big wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details is not too small for your wrist as finding spare links for old bracelets is very difficult.

This is a true stunner of a watch, with an elegant design and tasteful golden details. It will add to any vintage collection and make those special occasions just a little more special.
