Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222
Every so often, a watch comes along that changes the direction of an entire brand. The Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 Ref. 4200H/222A-B934 is one of those rare timepieces. Originally introduced in 1977 to celebrate Vacheron Constantin’s 222nd anniversary, the original 222 became one of the most influential luxury sports watches ever made. Designed by the legendary Jörg Hysek when he was just 24 years old, it was Vacheron Constantin’s answer to the growing demand for elegant stainless steel sports watches—and today, it stands alongside the greatest icons of the era.
The modern Historiques 222 faithfully revives that historic design while incorporating contemporary engineering and finishing. From the integrated bracelet and fluted bezel to the Maltese Cross at 5 o’clock, it remains remarkably true to the original while feeling perfectly suited for today.
Fun Fact!
For years, collectors hoped Vacheron Constantin would bring the 222 back. When the modern version finally returned, it quickly became one of the most talked-about releases in the watch world. The new stainless steel edition brings the legendary design back in one of its most wearable and versatile forms.
This exceptional Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 Ref. 4200H/222A-B934 is available now at Pacific Bay Watch.
