About this reference
The Vacheron Constantin 222 reference 46003 is the 34mm "mid-size" iteration of the model designed by Jörg Hysek, produced between approximately 1977 and 1985. This specific reference features a two-tone construction of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, characterized by its integrated bracelet, scalloped bezel, and the Maltese cross inlay at the five o'clock position on the case. Unlike the 37mm "Jumbo" which utilizes the caliber 1121, the 46003 is powered by the ultra-thin, automatic caliber 1124, based on a Jaeger-LeCoultre ebauche. Collectors value this reference as a more accessible entry point into the original 222 family, offering the same geometric aesthetic and historical significance as the larger version but in lower production numbers. On the secondary market, these timepieces typically command prices between $35,000 and $55,000. Production records indicate that fewer than 300 units were manufactured in this steel and gold configuration.
Auction track record
1 documented sale since 2024. Top hammer $176,400 at Christie's Dubai in 2024. Median hammer: $176,400.
