Launched in 1977 and designed by Jorg Hysek to celebrate the 222nd anniversary of Vacheron Constantin, the 222 has been an underrated gem for a long time and is now one of the most desired and sought-after integrated watches, for its scarcity and refined beauty.

Powered by the VC automatic caliber 1121, only about 100 were believed to be produced in yellow gold, of which just a extreme small percentage were factory-set with diamonds both on the bezel and the bracelet.

The impeccable conditions of this very example make it an absolute rarity.
