Vacheron Constantin 4500S Quai de l’Ile SS Blue Dial

Unveiled in 2017, the Vacheron Constantin Quai de l’Ile Self‑Winding ref. 4500S/000A‑B364 presents a compelling synthesis of contemporary haute horlogerie and bespoke customization. Housed in a 41mm stainless steel cushion case measuring approximately 11.75mm thick, this model preserves the collection’s tradition of elegant complexity while introducing an accessible sporty edge. It is driven by the in‑house caliber 5100/1, an automatic movement endowed with a 60‑hour power reserve and finished to the exacting standards of the Geneva Seal. The distinctive blue opaline dial, featuring a layered sapphire date disc and luminous Arabic numerals, projects depth and legibility in equal measure. With water resistance rated at 30 meters, it stays faithful to its design ethos even as it nods to functionality, though not explicitly marketed as a diver. The watch’s architecture—marked by transparent sapphire crystals both front and back—celebrates mechanical prowess, visibility and collector appreciation of movement decoration. Though not a limited edition, this reference enjoys deeper collectibility due to its relatively brief production span and the complexity of its customizable configurations. Offered on a matching blue rubber strap, it offers versatility and modern flair without sacrificing refinement. Like New with Vacheron Constantin box and undated papers.
