Lot Essay

Vacheron Constantin launched its Tribute to the Great Explorers series in 2004, celebrating the most celebrated journeys in history. Four watches made up the collection, each limited to 60 examples and built around a two-tier dial that charted the travels of Ferdinand Magellan, Zheng He, Marco Polo, and Christopher Columbus.

The present example is showcasing the travels of Marco Polo. Its hand painted champlevé enamel, enhanced with miniature painting, traces his path from Venice, along the Silk Road, and onward into Central Asia and China. The scene unfolds across landmasses, seas, deserts, mountain ranges, and architectural details that evoke the encounters of the journey.

For the collector drawn to métiers d'art, mechanical ingenuity, and genuine historical resonance, the Marco Polo stands apart.
