Prestige de la France mark: The Prestige de la
France Vacheron Constantin has always had a close relationship with France,
particularly during the Art Deco period and the remarkable and prolific
collaboration with Verger Frères. These ties grew even stronger during the
1970s, as Vacheron Constantin was awarded the “Prestige de la France” on June
23, 1972. During a reception at Paris' Ritz Hotel attended by Mr.
François-Xavier Ortoli, the Minister of “Développement industriel et
scientifique”, the “Prestige de la France” diploma was awarded to Mr Jaques
Ketterer, Président-Directeur general of Vacheron Constantin by M. Louis W.
Christaens, President of the “Comité de prestige et de propagande nationale”,
The collection of curved and asymmetrical watches that became known as the
“Prestige de la France” collection was given the supreme privilege of being
allowed to engrave the emblem of the association - a laurel-leaf crown
surrounding the words “prestige de la France” - on the watch cover. This
creation of Vacheron Constantin's Paris bureau is one of the few truly
memorable creations of the 1970s, a period which was less rich in noteworthy
designs than others. In 1999, Vacheron Constantin re-offered the collection,
naming it “1972”. Note : Item you are bidding on / buying is an used , old and/or vintage item . All items are sold “AS IS”.
