Overview
The American 1921, scaled up to 40 mm
The Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921, reference 82035/000G-B735, in 18K white gold with a grained silver-toned dial, black Arabic numerals and a grey calfskin strap. Manual-winding calibre 4400 AS with hours, minutes and small seconds, read diagonally with the crown between 1 and 2 o'clock; 40 × 40 mm, 8.06 mm high.
This execution is the same American 1921 case and calibre 4400 AS movement as the pink gold reference, in 18K white gold. The dial's Arabic numerals and hour and minute hands are black rather than blue, in blackened 18K gold rather than blued gold, and this page does not describe the small-seconds sub-dial as snailed. It is worn on a grey calfskin strap, closed by a white gold Ardillon buckle.
The reference 82035/000G-B735 is Vacheron Constantin's Historiques American 1921, offered in 18K pink gold and 18K white gold, in a larger case than the brand's other American 1921 references. Vacheron Constantin describes the case as reissuing a 1921 design made for the American market, set on the wrist at an angle so the crown sits away from 3 o'clock rather than square to the strap. The case measures 40 × 40 mm and 8.06 mm high, with a transparent sapphire case back and water resistance to 30 m. The grained silver-toned dial carries a railway minute track and a small-seconds sub-dial at 3 o'clock, with hour and minute hands and hour-markers in 18K gold; the pink gold execution has blue Arabic numerals and blued hands with a snailed seconds counter, worn on a blue calfskin strap closed by a pink gold Ardillon buckle, while the white gold execution has black Arabic numerals and blackened hands, worn on a grey calfskin strap closed by a white gold Ardillon buckle.
The manual-winding calibre 4400 AS drives the small-seconds display at 3 o'clock alongside the hours and minutes: 28.6 mm across, 2.8 mm high, with 127 parts and 21 jewels, running at 28,800 V.P.H. (4 Hz) for a stated 65-hour power reserve, which the brand's own page separately describes as nearly three days. The watch is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva; the brand's page dates the mark to 1886, when the Republic and Canton of Geneva established it as a standard for quality watchmaking in the city. The case back is sapphire crystal, and the watch is water-resistant to 30 m.
For collectors
This reference is Vacheron Constantin's larger-cased American 1921, on the same calibre 4400 AS movement and diagonal-reading layout as the brand's smaller American 1921 references, offered here in both pink gold and white gold -- worth noting for a buyer comparing case sizes across the reissue.
