Vacheron Constantin Evasion World Time Limited Edition (Ref. 48250), 1990s

Dealer description — Huntington Company

History and Significance World time watches have long represented one of the most elegant travel complications in horology, allowing the wearer to read the time across multiple cities at a glance. While many collectors immediately think of Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin has quietly produced some of the finest world timers of the modern era, often in remarkably small production numbers. The Evasion collection explored travel-focused complications through a distinctly Vacheron lens. Rather than emphasizing size or complexity for its own sake, the reference 48250 focuses on balance and refinement. The 37mm white gold case wears beautifully on the wrist, while the dial manages to present a tremendous amount of information without ever feeling cluttered or overwhelming. Limited to just 100 examples, this reference represents the type of watch collectors often spend years searching for. Complete examples accompanied by their original box and papers surface only occasionally, making this an especially compelling opportunity for someone looking to own one of Vacheron's rarer modern references. Writer’s Thoughts The Vacheron Constantin Evasion World Time, ref. 48250, is exactly the kind of watch that becomes more interesting the longer you collect. It isn't loud or instantly recognizable, but that's precisely the appeal. A limited production of just 100 pieces, an ideal 37mm white gold case, and one of the most useful complications in watchmaking come together to create a watch that quietly stands apart from almost everything else in its category. Our Promise Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.
