The Vacheron Constantin Malte Chronograph collection was first introduced in 2004, replacing the firm’s Chronograph Historique line. The Malte Chronograph was highly controversial at the time of its release, as the modernized and oversized case was atypical of the firm. The collection remained in production until 2009, and has become highly sought after in the world of horology.
In 2006, Vacheron Constantin introduced the special “Malte Chronograph Collection Excellence Platine”, which was a limited edition run of 75 watches cased in platinum. This exclusive series was fitted with a sandblasted, solid platinum dial adorned with applied white gold hour markers and Maltese cross, as well as an outer telemeter scale. Its robust 41.5mm case features fan-shaped lugs and a sapphire crystal caseback for collectors to admire the high-grade manual-wind caliber 1141.
The present example is number 62 of this series and preserved in excellent overall condition. This watch is fresh to the market and comes with the complete package including the original certificate, presentation box, leather wallet, instruction manual and service booklet.
With this exceptional rarity, large case size and beautiful modern design, this piece will make the perfect addition for any discerning Vacheron Constantin collector.
