This reference is noted for its 48mm case construction combining an 18k white gold bezel and crown guards with a stainless steel mid-case. It houses the manual-wind Caliber RD02, a Poinçon de Genève certified movement featuring a one-minute flying tourbillon visible at the six o'clock position. Collectors value this model as a representation of the brand’s \"Golden Era\" under the founder’s influence, characterized by oversized sports aesthetics paired with high-complication finishing. This specific reference was limited to 280 pieces globally. On the secondary market, these timepieces typically trade between $25,000 and $40,000 depending on condition and completeness. A similar variant exists in full 18k rose gold, which commands a higher price premium at auction.", "score": 198}, {"slug": "vacheron-constantin-43043", "brand": "Vacheron Constantin", "ref": "43043", "model": "Historiques", "case_material": "18k Rose Gold", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/vacheron-constantin-43043", "description": "The Vacheron Constantin Historiques Ultra-Fine 1955, reference 43043/000R-9592 in 18k rose gold, was introduced in 2010 to commemorate the brand's 255th anniversary and remains in limited production. Collectors prioritize this reference for the Calibre 1003, a manual-wind movement measuring 1.64mm thick, which holds historical significance as one of the thinnest mechanical movements ever produced. The 36mm case features a total thickness of 4.13mm and includes a solid gold dial with a silvered opaline finish and minimalist baton markers. The secondary market price for this reference typically ranges from $16,000 to $22,000 depending on condition and the presence of original documentation. A notable production detail is the Hallmark of Geneva certification, which is visible through the sapphire caseback. While the 1955 original utilized a yellow gold alloy, this modern 43043 variant utilizes 4N rose gold to meet contemporary aesthetic preferences.", "score": 83}]}
