For the very first time the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-thin is presented in 18K white gold with two different dial variants. A skeleton version and another with a blue lacquered dial and sunburst satin finish. It’s incredibly slim case with a 41.5 mm diameter and just 8.1 mm thick embodies an art of diversity reflected in the three interchangeable bracelet/straps delivered with each watch.
In 2016, the Overseas collection was reinvented with a view to exploring new horizons. A new aesthetic signature and new calibres were unveiled. One of the most recent embodiments of this approach was the perpetual calendar ultra-thin skeleton model introduced in 2020 in a pink gold version and rewarded with a prize by the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève —GPHG)— that same year. Perfectly embodying the technical and aesthetic expertise of the Maison, this watch is now presented in a new white gold interpretation exclusively available from Vacheron Constantin boutiques.
The Overseas perpetual calendar ultra-thin flaunts its technical complexity with all the inherent elegance and distinction of the collection. This model with its timeless design is instantly recognizable: a hexagonal bezel evoking the Maltese cross, a fluted crown, polished and satin-brushed finishes, a translucent lacquered dial with faceted and luminescent gold hour-markers and hands. This watch exudes a sense of total harmony wherever it may find itself.
The respective perpetual calendar movements of these two new editions calibre 1120 QP/1 can be admired through the case back of the solid blue dial version reference 4300V/120G-B945.
Meanwhile, on the skeleton variant reference 4300V/120G-B946 it is visible from both sides where the Vacheron Constantin calibre 1120 QPSQ/1 have been hollowed out, finished and decorated in such a way as to accentuate the functional beauty of the mechanism. The NAC-coated oscillating weight with its 22K gold segment has also been openworked to highlight its stylised design inspired by the shape of the Maltese cross.
Both watches are available with an 18K white gold bracelet secured by an 18K white gold triple-blade folding clasp with push-pieces and comfort-adjustment system and with a blue Mississippiensis alligator leather strap with blue stitches and a blue rubber strap both equipped with an additional 18K white gold buckle.
Sticker Price $121,000 USD for skeleton reference and $94,000 USD for blue dial.
