Adorn your wrist with exquisite "elegance," meticulously finished by hand down to the smallest detail!
Platinum holds a special place in haute horlogerie, and VACHERON CONSTANTIN has been developing its Excellence Platine collection, utilizing this rare metal, since 2006. The "Traditionnelle Manual Winding" is the latest addition to this noble collection.
This piece features platinum not only in its case, dial, crown, and clasp, but also in its 18K white gold hour markers and hands. It is a refined design that exudes understated elegance. The sandblasted dial is adorned with slender applied hour markers, a railway minute track, and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock, contributing to its balanced aesthetic.
The 38mm case, of a slightly modest size, houses the in-house manual-winding Caliber 4400 AS, offering a power reserve of 65 hours. The hand-finished movement, detailed to perfection, can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back. Furthermore, the dark blue alligator strap, hand-stitched with threads woven from highly pure platinum 950 and silk, accentuates the timepiece beautifully.
Reflecting VACHERON CONSTANTIN's spirit of respecting tradition and value, the "Traditionnelle Manual Winding Collection Excellence Platine," meticulously finished by hand down to the smallest detail, is offered in a worldwide limited edition of 75 pieces, with individual serial numbers engraved as "No.X/75" on the case back.
