Pink Gold Chronograph — Ref. 4072, cal. 13''' 434

02 / Collector summary
The reference at a glance.
The 4072 is the shape collectors picture when they picture a vintage Vacheron chronograph — teardrop lugs, pink gold, and a hand-wound caliber that still defines the category. Fewer than a few hundred were ever made, and correct examples surface rarely. The two-tone pink dial with its blue telemeter track and red markings is the configuration worth waiting for. When a genuine one appears, we confirm everything privately — condition, originality, documentation — before any conversation begins.
