Introduced in 1994 to mark the 400th anniversary of the death of cartographer Gerardus Mercator, the Vacheron Constantin Mercator ref. 43050 is one of the most poetic complications of the decade. Its hours and minutes are shown by two retrograde hands shaped like a pair of map dividers, which sweep across a dial decorated with a detailed map. The case is crafted in 18k yellow gold and fitted on a leather strap. In good condition, this double retrograde Mercator is a collector's piece that blends watchmaking, art and history.
