About this reference
The Vacheron Constantin reference 222 in stainless steel was produced between 1977 and approximately 1985 to celebrate the brand’s 222nd anniversary. Designed by Jörg Hysek, the model features a 37mm monobloc tonneau case with a serrated bezel and a Maltese cross inlay at the five o’clock position. It is powered by the ultra-thin caliber 1121, based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre 920. Collectors value the steel variant for its rarity, as only around 500 units were manufactured in the "Jumbo" size. While Vacheron Constantin released a yellow gold reissue in 2022, the original steel reference remains out of production. On the secondary market, these vintage steel examples typically command prices in the low-to-mid six-figure range, often exceeding $150,000 depending on condition. A notable auction result occurred in 2023 when a well-preserved steel 222 sold for over $180,000, reflecting its scarcity compared to gold counterparts.
