2005 Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual-Time 'Limited Edition' (Ref. 47450/B01A) Black "Wempe" Dial W/ Full Set & Recent Factory Service

Few watchmakers command the same level of respect as Vacheron Constantin, the third-oldest continuously operating watch manufacturer in the world, founded in 1755. Renowned for uncompromising craftsmanship and timeless design, the brand’s mastery spans everything from ultra-complicated calendar watches to restrained, elegant dress models. This breadth of excellence is precisely why Vacheron Constantin stands among the horological “Holy Trinity”, a reputation earned through centuries of precise execution, innovation, and an unwavering dedication to refinement.

Introduced as part of the second generation of the Overseas collection, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual-Time Ref. 47450/B01A perfectly embodies the brand’s ability to blend refined Swiss watchmaking with everyday practicality. Produced between 2004 and 2016, the second-generation Overseas elevated the model’s sporting credentials while retaining the elegance expected from one of horology’s most revered maisons. The example presented here is a particularly desirable limited edition created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Wempe Chronometerwerke, featuring several details exclusive to the collaboration, including a glossy black dial, silver Wempe co-signature, and the omission of the standard center seconds hand, giving the watch a cleaner and more purposeful aesthetic.

Measuring a contemporary 42mm in diameter, this Overseas is equipped with Vacheron Constantin’s highly practical Dual-Time complication, allowing the wearer to track two time zones simultaneously through a dedicated second-time display accompanied by a day-and-night indicator. Additional functionality comes courtesy of a power reserve indicator, making this one of the most versatile references within the Overseas lineage. Offered as a complete collector’s set and preserved in excellent condition, this limited-edition Wempe collaboration represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a distinctive and uncommon variation of one of Vacheron Constantin’s most celebrated modern sports watches.
