Crafted circa 1997 and fashioned from an American $20 “Liberty” head gold coin dating back to 1904, this reference 33059 ingeniously transforms the coin into a horological masterpiece. - A small pusher on the right side of the case opens the “Head” side of the coin, revealing the intricate mechanism within. Housed inside is Vacheron Constantin’s ultra-slim skeletonized Geneva-sealed caliber 1003, launched in 1955 to commemorate the brand’s 200th anniversary. - Measuring just 1.64 mm, this movement held the title of the world’s thinnest manual wind movement for decades. While a 34.5mm coin might have been cumbersome for pocket carry, it now emerges as a perfectly sized dress watch, aligning with the contemporary trend favoring smaller timepieces. - Fitted with a stunning skeletonized dial and encased in a well-preserved gold case, this $20 Liberty Coin wristwatch is a coveted item for discerning collectors who appreciate the fusion of heritage, craftsmanship, and modern taste in a unique timepiece. Additionally, this remarkable watch is accompanied by its original warranty and pouch, enhancing its appeal as a collectible.
