Drawing inspiration from the first Vacheron Constantin watch with a partially open-worked dial from 1918, the Maison presents three limited edition watches with open-worked dials to celebrate its 270th anniversary. The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Retrograde Date Openface 270th Anniversary is available in platinum and is limited to 370 pieces. This exceptional timepiece features a case entirely sculpted from 950 platinum, seamlessly merging mechanical excellence with innovative design. Created as a limited edition of 370 pieces to commemorate Vacheron Constantin's 270th anniversary, the watch bears a subtle anniversary inscription and distinctive ‘côte unique’ finishing.
By open-working the dials of these three new limited editions, Vacheron Constantin reveals the full beauty of the mechanics. The 41 mm platinum case—10.94 mm thick—pairs perfectly with the silver-toned open-worked dial that features two parts: one a hand-guilloché with a 270th-anniversary motif inspired by the Maltese cross and the movement plate decorated with vertical straightening.
The sophisticated openface dial, adorned with a hand-guilloché Maltese cross pattern, reveals the elegance and capability of its newly developed automatic movement. The perpetual calendar displays a retrograde date function alongside a high-precision moon phase indicator with double moons in 18K white gold, while faithfully preserving the Traditionnelle Collection's characteristic aesthetic: stepped round case with refined lugs, slim bezel and fluted caseback, railway-type minute track, and Dauphine-style hour and minute hands.
The automatic movement powering this watch is the manufacture calibre 2460 QPR31/270. Composed of 265 parts, the movement provides a power reserve of 40 hours. 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.
The Traditionnelle Complete Calendar Openface 270th Anniversary is delivered on a dark blue alligator strap with a triple folding clasp.
