Why this one
The case for this one.
- Manual-winding Calibre 1142 column-wheel chronograph, hand finished
- Cow-horn lugs taken directly from the 1955 reference 6087
- Silver opaline dial with twin registers and Roman numerals at 12 and 6
Vacheron Constantin revived the Cornes de Vache in 2015, taking its name and its flared lugs from the reference 6087 of 1955, the maison's first water-resistant chronograph. The steel case arrived last among the metals offered, and this 38.5mm example carries the same manual-winding Calibre 1142 and silver dial as the original, built new rather than restored. A piece for a collector who wants Vacheron Constantin's vintage chronograph story in a case that has never been on another wrist.
