Prestige de France is a very a propos watch as not only tomorrow is(View entire thread)July 13, 07 19:41 the French national holiday but this watch was actually designed by VC's design team in Paris.
Vacheron Constantin was awarded the “Prestige de la France” on June 23, 1972.
During a reception at Paris' Ritz Hotel attended by Mr. François-Xavier Ortoli, the Minister of Développement industriel et scientifique, the “Prestige de la France” diploma was awarded to Mr Jaques Ketterer, the then CEO of Vacheron Constantin by M. Louis W. Christaens, President of the Comité de prestige et de propagande nationale (the Committee for prestige and national propaganda!!!).
The collection of curved and asymmetrical watches that became known as the “Prestige de la France” collection was given the supreme privilege of being allowed to engrave the emblem of the association - a laurel-leaf crown surrounding the words “prestige de la France” - on the case back.
