The Overseas is the flagship sports watch models by Vacheron Constantin, such as the Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet or the Nautilus for Patek Philippe. Almost 20 years after the release of the 222 Vacheron Constantin launched the Overseas, a revised direction for their sports luxe offering. Born from an idea of Vincent Kaufmann and external watch artist Dino Modolo, in more recent years, the model has seen updates to the shape, bezel and bracelet. The here offered reference 42 050 represents one of the original iterations of this now-iconic and collectable model. The Overseas was produced in a short period between 1996 and 2004 and this example is in yellow gold and has a 35 mm case, the mid-size watch, which wears bigger thanks to the signature integrated bracelet. The bezel is factory set with brilliant cut diamonds that gives a luxury style and is completed by 8 screws and “Overseas” logo on the case back that close the automatic movement.
