This Vacheron Constantin 222 Ref. 60001 is a rare ladies’ steel quartz example of one of the most iconic integrated bracelet designs of the 1970s/80s. The 60001 reference features the signature slim tonneau case with notched bezel, integrated bracelet, and the discreet Maltese cross set into the case side—instantly recognizable to collectors of the 222 line. Powered by a precise quartz movement, it offers the convenience of grab-and-go wear while still delivering true haute horlogerie pedigree. It’s believed that only around 1,300 examples of the 60001 were produced across all metals, making the steel version especially desirable and elusive on the market today. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a historically important and genuinely scarce Vacheron Constantin sports-luxury piece in a refined ladies’ size.
The watch has just returned from a complete service at Vacheron Constantin and is running flawlessly. Overall condition is very good, with light signs of wear consistent with age—most notably on the caseback and near the screw hole on the lugs. It comes accompanied by official service papers from Vacheron.
