The Vacheron Constantin 222 Ref. 44018 in stainless steel is a cornerstone of integrated sports watch design. Released in 1977 to celebrate the brand’s 222nd anniversary, it was designed by Jörg Hysek and features a sleek 37mm tonneau-shaped case, notched bezel, and integrated bracelet – all hallmarks of the emerging luxury sports genre. The minimalist grey dial, accented with baton markers and slim hands, reflects the watch’s refined yet utilitarian character. Inside, the ultra-thin automatic Calibre 1121 (based on the famed JLC 920) ensures precision and elegance in equal measure. Rare and historically significant, the 222 in steel remains one of Vacheron’s most celebrated vintage icons – understated, architectural, and enduringly modern. This very watch is in impressive condition and appears to be the best known to the market, it is in “new old stock” condition with no more but the slightest signs of storaging over the years, the case is sharp and there are no further signs on it. It also comes with the fullset as well as the original invoice and a full length bracelet.
