Rare Vacheron Constantin Overseas heads to Green Auctioneers sale

Green Auctioneers will offer a rare Vacheron Constantin Overseas reference 42041 in Hong Kong on 8 December 2026. The steel left-handed watch, made around 1997 and reportedly ordered by Johann Rupert, is said to exist in only three examples and carries a €50,000 to €100,000 estimate.

Why it matters · interpretationThis is a notable collectible-market sale of a very rare Overseas variant tied to Johann Rupert. The combination of tiny production, early-generation status and a major brand should attract serious interest from collectors.
