Vacheron Constantin 222 Mini 60001 24mm Two Tone

The Vacheron Constantin 222 Ref. 60001 is a rare and highly collectible 24mm Mini 222, representing one of the most iconic integrated bracelet designs in Vacheron Constantin’s history. Originally introduced in 1977 to celebrate the maison’s 222nd anniversary, the 222 marked Vacheron Constantin’s entrance into the luxury sports watch category and has since become one of the brand’s most important vintage designs. Designed by Jorg Hysek, the original 222 was first produced in the classic 37mm size and later offered in smaller variations, including the 34mm and 24mm models. This 24mm two-tone example carries the unmistakable DNA of the original 222, including the slim case profile, integrated bracelet, notched bezel, and signature Maltese Cross detail positioned on the lower right corner of the case.

While Vacheron Constantin has brought the 222 back into its modern Historiques collection, the current reissue has been produced in the larger 37mm format, with no modern Mini 222 currently offered. That makes this vintage 24mm Ref. 60001 especially compelling for collectors who appreciate the 222 design but want the smaller, jewelry-like proportions of the original Mini version. No longer in production, the Mini 222 has become increasingly sought after for its rarity, design significance, and elegant wearability. The two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold construction gives this example a refined vintage look, making it a standout piece for anyone looking to add an important and distinctive Vacheron Constantin to their collection.

This example is in overall really nice condition and has recently received a complete factory service by Vacheron Constantin in Switzerland. The case presents well with possible light signs of wear consistent with age and careful use. The bracelet shows some light flex.
