Description
Vacheron Constantin created the 222 in 1977 to crown its 222nd anniversary, entrusting the design to a twenty-four-year-old Jörg Hysek. Born into the golden age of the integrated-bracelet sports watch, it stood alongside the era’s icons and would later father the Overseas line. Collectors prize the 222 as the maison’s boldest gesture of the period, an emblem of 1970s confidence crowned by the Maltese cross. This diamond-set ladies version distills that heritage into pure gold-and-diamond glamour.
Measuring a petite 24.4mm, the notched yellow gold case follows the 222’s architectural silhouette, its bezel encircled by a ring of brilliant-cut diamonds. The warm champagne dial glints with princess-cut diamond hour markers and slender gold baton hands, the Maltese cross emblem anchoring the lower case. A precise quartz movement powers the display beneath. The integrated yellow gold bracelet flows seamlessly from the case, its hexagonal center links pavé-set with diamonds for uninterrupted sparkle.
