Vacheron Constantin 1972 Prestige 25mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 25 mm case suggests

Vacheron Constantin 1972 Prestige 25mm measures 47 mm lug-to-lug on a 25 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.88 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 47% of the 8,093 watches in this database and shorter than 42% of the 33 Vacheron Constantin watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 53 mm (2.09 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 63 mm (2.48 in) it starts to look compact. Below 47 mm (1.85 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
