The Holy Trinity of watch brands: Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin.
Far less understood than either of its respected compatriots, Vacheron Constantin has a legacy of producing some of the very finest haute horlogerie complications in history — and some of the loveliest.
Though the maison has several excellent collections, its Traditionnelle collection is in our opinion home to some of their very best watches, from simple, time-only models to highly complicated masterpieces.
This piece, a spectacular Complete Calendar Reference 4010T/000R-B344 , dates to 2022. Housed in a 41mm 18k pink gold case with a smooth bezel, it features a handsome white dial with applied 18k hour indices, a matching ‘dauphine’ handset, an printed calendar track with corresponding pointer hand, month and day windows at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions respectively, and a moonphase display located at 6 o‘clock.
Measuring just 10.72mm thick, this stunner is powered by an impressive automatic movement from Vacheron, the Calibre 2460 QCL/1. Boasting a power reserve of 40 hours, it provides an elegant dial layout with classic inspiration that looks clean and fresh while sitting beautifully on the wirst.
Fitted to a signed brown alligator leather strap with 18k pink gold Ardillon buckle, the Traditionnelle Complete Calendar also comes complete with its inner box, booklets, and warranty card dated 12/2022.
This piece is the perfect example of Vacheron’s excellence in the haute horlogerie space. Whether worn as an accessory with formal-wear or more casually as your everyday watch, you’re sure to fall in love with it just as much as we have!
