About this reference
The Vacheron Constantin King Fouad I pocket watch, reference 402833, was commissioned in 1927 and delivered to the King of Egypt in 1929. This unique piece is not in production. Collectors value the reference for its high-complication movement, featuring a carrousel tourbillon, grande and petite sonnerie, minute repeater, perpetual calendar, and split-seconds chronograph. The 18k yellow gold case measures 65mm and houses a silvered dial with the Egyptian royal coat of arms in enamel on the caseback. The movement contains 46 jewels and was adjusted by master watchmaker James Pellaton. While unique pieces of this caliber rarely trade, its historical significance places its valuation in the multi-million dollar range. In 2005, this specific watch sold at Antiquorum for 3,306,250 CHF, setting a record at the time for the most expensive Vacheron Constantin ever sold at auction.
