Piece Unique
With the one-of-a-kind Maître Cabinotier Perpetual Calendar Regulator, Vacheron Constantin showcases its expertise in creating original and exclusive calibers providing a highly specific time read-off.
This exceptional timepiece is distinguished by its regulator-type display, inspired by the precision clocks used to adjust watches from the 17th century onwards. Along with this dissociated display of the hours and minutes, the 2460 RQP movement specially designed for this model also drives a major horological complication: the perpetual calendar.
Vacheron's highly specialised Geneva artisans in their attic workshops create authentic made-to-order masterpieces intended for prestigious customers from around the world.
Technical Specifications:
The case, in 18kt rose gold, measures 42mm x 11.7mm. It has double sapphire crystals and it is water resistant to 30 meters.
Movement is the Swiss automatic Vacheron in-house caliber 2460 RQP with 27 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 40 hours. It bears the Hallmark of Geneva certification. Functions are: regulator hours and minutes, perpetual calendar (date, day of the week, month, leap year) and moonphase.
The dial is 18kt gold brown opaline, hand-guilloché with 18kt rose gold Clous de Paris applied hour-markers, moonphase and counter frames. The hands are leaf-type.
Complementing the regulator-type display of the hours and minutes, the perpetual calendar and the moon phases appear on a snailed counter at 6 o'clock, while the rose gold moon and silver dust stars are sprinkled across the spiralling finish. The rose gold-rimmed day of the week and month apertures appear on either side of the offset hours counter at 12 o'clock. The various types of finish guilloché, opaline, snailed and circular satin-finished along with the alternating presence of applied hour-markers, Roman and Arabic numerals, combine to ensure excellent readability of each separate indication.
The strap is a brown Mississippiensis alligator leather with alligator leather inner shell, hand-stitched, saddle-finish, large square scales, and an 18kt rose gold triple-blade folding clasp.
It is delivered in a presentation box with watch winder, a corrector pen and a magnifying glass.
Thanks.
