Vintage Rectangular Meister Auction Example 22.5mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 22.5 mm case suggests

Vacheron Constantin Vintage Rectangular Meister Auction Example 22.5mm measures 25 mm lug-to-lug on a 22.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.11 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 100% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 97% of the 34 Vacheron Constantin watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 28 mm (1.10 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 34 mm (1.34 in) it starts to look compact. Below 25 mm (0.98 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 4 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 100% of the watches with a listed thickness.
