The Vacheron Constantin Replica Overseas is currently in great demand. Why is that? What’s behind the Overseas’ meteoric rise to the top of the watch charts?

The “Big Three” luxury watch brands – Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin – all offer impressive sports watches. The Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak are still very popular, but the Overseas from Vacheron Constantin is currently giving them a run for their money. Our watch expert Jorg recommends the Overseas as a potential investment property for 2024.

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas: The Non-Genta Watch

Let’s take a quick look at the history of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus. Most believe that all three are creations of legendary designer wunderkind Gérald Genta. However, the origins of the Overseas lie in the famous Vacheron Constantin 222, which was presented in 1977 to mark the brand’s 222nd anniversary. The Overseas itself was designed by the relatively unknown designer Jörg Hysek, who just took the step into self-employment after four years at Rolex.

What makes the Vacheron Constantin Overseas the next hype model?

The current development of Vacheron Constantin Overseas is probably favored by several factors. First, most serious collectors probably already own a Nautilus and/or a Royal Oak. These watches have a high recognition value and are the crowning glory of any watch collection. For collectors who want to add a luxury sports watch from another manufacturer, Vacheron Constantin is the next logical step.

Secondly, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas is perfect if you want a more inconspicuous watch. The Overseas looks great, but it’s not so distinctive that everyone would recognize it at first glance. It is more subtle and is particularly appreciated by people who prefer quiet rather than ostentatious.

Thirdly, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas is much rarer than the Royal Oak and the Nautilus. Vacheron Constantin only produces a few watches per year. The Overseas is one of several watch models from VC, of which only a limited number are produced each year.

A fourth reason may be that some collectors are on the hunt for the next insider tip in terms of resale and auction value. Many collectors feel that, despite its relative rarity, the Overseas is currently underrated and that until recently it lacked a little push. The Overseas models are available in various configurations, from pure timekeeping to perpetual calendar. Here we find the functions of the Nautilus and the Royal Oak.
