Produced in comparatively small numbers and long overshadowed by its contemporaries, the 222 has emerged as one of the most collectible integrated bracelet watches of its era.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe present Ref. 46004 is an especially compelling example, executed in an elegant two-tone combination of stainless steel and yellow gold. The interplay between brushed steel and warm gold center links is echoed by the matching gold dial and fluted bezel, giving the watch a distinctly refined character while preserving the unmistakably angular silhouette that defines the 222.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat truly distinguishes this example, however, is the dial. At six oclock sits the emblem of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia  a highly desirable retailer signature reserved for watches commissioned for the Saudi market. Such dials were produced in extremely limited quantities and represent an important chapter in Middle Eastern collecting, where royal commissions and state emblems have become some of the most sought-after variations in vintage watchmaking.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEqually impressive is the condition. Preserved to a remarkable standard, the case retains crisp bevels and sharp brushing throughout, while the integrated bracelet remains exceptionally tightstanding upright with virtually no stretch, a rarity for sports watches of this vintage. Completing the picture, the original factory caseback sticker remains partially intact, an extraordinary survival that speaks to the careful life this watch has led over the past four decades.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCombining one of Vacheron Constantins most important modern references with a coveted Saudi crest dial and outstanding originality, this Ref. 46004 represents the kind of watch that rarely appears on the market. It is a beautifully preserved example of an increasingly elusive referenceone that appeals equally to collectors of integrated bracelet sports watches, Middle Eastern signed dials, and exceptional vintage condition.\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        ","brand":"Vacheron Constantin","offers":[{"title":"Champagne with Khanjar Emlblem of Oman \/ 31mm  38mm \/ Two-Tone","offer_id":50217855713519,"sku":"213679","price":55000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0207\/2436\/files\/213679-1.jpg?v=1784664749","url":"https:\/\/thekeystone.com\/products\/vacheron-constantin-two-tone-222-with-emblem-of-saudi-arabia-new-arrival","provider":"The Keystone Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
