Overview
The Winged Victory of Samothrace, in grisaille enamel
The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Tribute to Great Civilisations – Victoire de Samothrace, reference 7620A/000G-B928, in 18K white gold with an engraved applique of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, on a brown alligator strap. Self-winding calibre 2460 G4/2 with hours, minutes, day and date by aperture; 42 mm, 12.93 mm high, Hallmark of Geneva certified.
The reference 7620A/000G-B928 is the Greek piece in the same first series, in 18K white gold. Its hand-engraved 18K gold applique depicts the Winged Victory of Samothrace. The dial's centre is finished in brown enamel, with the periphery worked in grisaille enamelling that reproduces decorative friezes taken from two Greek vases. The sapphire crystal is engraved by metallization with ancient Greek script, drawn from a votive stele found at Samothrace, and the outer frieze is line-engraved in 18K gold, based on the Vase of Pergamon. Hours, minutes, day and date are shown on tone-on-tone rotating discs through the dial's apertures. The case is 42 mm across and 12.93 mm high, on a brown alligator leather strap closed by an 18K white gold triple folding clasp.
The movement is the self-winding calibre 2460 G4/2, 31 mm across and 6.05 mm high, with 237 parts and 27 jewels, running at 28,800 V.P.H. (4 Hz) for a stated 40-hour power reserve, with a balance-stop function alongside the hour, minute, day and date displays. The watch is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva, dated by the brand to 1886 and framed as a mark of provenance, craftsmanship and reliability.
For collectors
The periphery is worked in grisaille enamel - a monochrome technique built up in layers of Grand Feu enamel - rather than the champlevé or micro-mosaic used on several of the other artworks in this eight-piece series, per each page's own dial description.
