1950s Vacheron Constantin 4737 “Cioccolatone” in 18k Yellow Gold

Won’t melt in the sun.

$27,450

OVERVIEW

A beautiful large gold square watch that sits perfectly on the wrist because of it’s curved shape. Aptly nicknamed “Cioccolatone” because of its glaring resemblance to a square of chocolate, its unique shape puts it in the niche category with only a few hundred examples ever made. When they do turn up for sale, most examples are overpolished and/or have worn, moisture-stricken dials. This example has neither and is in as good of condition as it gets.

CONDITION NOTES

CASE: Sharp, excellent condition & possibly unpolished with prominent edges and hallmarks.

DIAL & HANDS: Beautful original dial with some light wear on the markers. Actual dial baseplate looks untouched and perfect. Original gold stick hands in excellent condition.

MOVEMENT: Clean and running great.
