Vacheron Constantin, the world's oldest watch maison in continuous operation since its founding, is celebrating 270 years of uninterrupted history by launching eight limited editions within the Traditionelle and Patrimony collections during Watches & Wonders 2025. Both collections draw inspiration from Vacheron Constantin's rich heritage, which has been created for almost three centuries.

The Traditionnelle collection pays homage to the rigorous traditions of Geneva's 18th-century Haute Horlogerie, combining high technical standards with distinctive horological aesthetics. Its signatures include stepped lugs, a fluted case back, and a slender bezel. Reflecting watchmaking tradition, the dial has a railway-type minutes track, faceted Dauphine-style hands, and applied gold baton-type hour markers.

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Manual-Winding 270th Anniversary is presented in platinum or 18K 5N pink gold in a limited edition of 370 pieces each as references 82172/000P-H062 and 82172/000R-H118, respectively.

The watches feature dials with a geometric motif created for the 270th anniversary. The 38 mm case—only 7.77 mm thick— is fitted with the manufacture Calibre 4400 AS/270, which, like all those marking this anniversary, is enhanced by the ‘côte unique’ finish and engraved with the anniversary emblem. This calibre offers a generous 65-hour power reserve and drives the hours, minutes, and small seconds at 6 o'clock.

The limited editions are united by distinctive stylistic details created especially for the 270th anniversary. The dials feature a subtle geometric motif inspired by the Maltese Cross, Vacheron Constantin’s emblem since 1880.

The sapphire case backs reveal the ‘côte unique’ finish on the bridges of each calibre made for this anniversary. As a final touch, each movement is engraved with an emblem representing Vacheron Constantin’s 270th anniversary.

Each of the anniversary references is fitted with an alligator leather strap with large square scales and tone-on-tone hand stitching, fastened with an 18K gold pin buckle in the shape of a half Maltese Cross.
