Reference 6115A belongs to Vacheron Constantin’s tradition of gentlemen’s watches: a round 33 mm case in 18k gold, straight lugs, a clean dial with slender indices and just two hands for the hours and minutes. A watch conceived for formal occasions, in which elegance springs from restraint rather than ornament.
The movement
At the heart of the watch is calibre 1003, a highly refined ultra-thin manual-winding movement that allows the case to keep a slim profile. The simplicity of the functions is deliberate: all the space is devoted to the quality of the mechanism and the legibility of the dial.
The model
The 6115A is a variant of reference 6115. According to enthusiasts and collectors, the final letter denotes a slightly updated version, with shorter lugs and a different dial finish, which does not, however, alter the classic spirit of the watch. The acrylic (plexiglass) crystal and the alligator strap remain true to the traditional design.
For the collector
An example of sophisticated simplicity: gold, an ultra-thin movement and balanced proportions, the qualities for which these Vacheron Constantin dress watches are still sought after.
