The Vacheron Constantin Ref. 6308 “Spillmann” from the 1950s is a rare and refined example of mid-century Swiss watchmaking excellence. This model represents a unique collaboration between Vacheron Constantin and the famed case maker C.R. Spillmann & Co., best known for crafting waterproof chronograph cases for Rolex and Heuer. Finding one bearing the Vacheron signature makes this an exceptional collector’s piece.
Crafted from 18k yellow gold, the case measures a balanced 36 mm, delivering vintage charm with modern wearability. The clean silver dial, paired with gold hour markers and a stick handset, showcases timeless simplicity. Inside, the manual-wind Caliber 454/5B powers the watch with precision and reliability — recently serviced and running strong.
