Is it a purity standard of "13 Loth" (meets the minimum 800 fineness standard) and is the "G" for Geneva? :::

This item is rather spectacular by the way :::: Seems like 1860-1880 to me. :::: Would love to see more details of the bug and the skull. ::::

There should be a Swiss Watch expert who might be able to help more. :::: Thank you for sharing the pics, the details are astounding :::

Vacheron & Constantin is one of the “Holy Trinity” of Geneva-based Swiss watchmakers, (along with Patek-Philippe and Audemars-Piguet) known for the quality and luxury of their products. The company has a rich heritage, going back to the 18th Century.
If this were my timepiece, I’d write directly to the company. They have detailed archives, and am sure could help you pinpoint the date of manufacture and particulars of this piece.
Good luck in your research, and please let us know if you’re able to get more info. from V&C.
