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 recently underwent a complete service at Vacheron and includes the accompanying service papers. It shows light surface wear on the bracelet, minor marks near the lug holes, and some light scratches on the caseback.
