Farouk – 1946
Vacheron Constantin created one of its most complicated watches for King Farouk, son of King Fuad I of Egypt, who inherited his father’s appreciation of fine watchmaking. It took five years to compete this masterpiece, featuring 14 complications. This striking watch with two gear trains is made of 18K yellow gold. It features a carillon minute repeater with grande and petite sonneries, equipped with three gongs and three hammers, a split-seconds chronograph and 30-minute counter, a perpetual calendar, a moon phase and moon age indicator, an alarm, and two power reserve indicators.
