This Vacheron Constantin reference 6990 is an exquisite example of the maison’s pursuit of ultra-thin watchmaking during the golden era of the 1960s and 1970s. With its softly rounded case that blends elements of both the ellipse and tonneau forms, the 6990 embodies the discreet elegance that defined Vacheron Constantin’s dress watches of the time.

Produced in 1973, this particular example features a refined silver dial with painted Roman numerals, enhancing its classical character. The solid gold case, ultra-flat profile, and harmonious proportions make this reference one of the purest expressions of understated sophistication. Its timeless style ensures that it remains as elegant today as it was upon its release.

Offered here is a complete and fully original full set in extraordinary condition. The watch comes with its original presentation box, outer packaging, leather document holder, certificate of originality, and period booklet. It retains its original leather strap, as well as the original gold Vacheron Constantin buckle. The entire ensemble has been preserved with the utmost care; the watch itself shows virtually no signs of wear, remains unpolished, and can rightly be described as near new old stock.

The photographs included are extremely detailed and show every aspect of the watch with great clarity — even more than the naked eye perceives. What you see in the images is exactly what you will receive.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire not only an exceptional 1973 Vacheron Constantin ultra-thin dress watch, but also a complete and untouched set that speaks to the highest level of the brand’s heritage. A true collector’s piece!
