    Welcoming your gaze with open arms, the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Complete Calendar Openface is not shy to flaunt its incredible movement and finishing. With the prestige approval of the Poinçon de Genève gracing this timepiece, all its glory can be admire from the front to the back. Cased in a 41mm diameter white gold case with an attractive slate grey look, a glimpse of the guilloche dial and gear can be appreciated under the sapphire crystal. As the white gold Dauphine hands glide across midnight, the wearer is able to see a world of wheels and levers as well as the jump of the sapphire day wheel in action. The date is indicated on the periphery of the dial by a crescent tipped hand that brackets the date with clear legibility. Tastefully depicted is also a photoreleastic moon phases at 6 o’clock cleverly designed with a semi-frosted shape that is modern and elegant.

    Turning the watch to its caseback reveals the self-winding calibre 2460 QCL/2 is a pleasure for the wearer. Powered by a 22K gold rotor with the iconic Vacheron Constantin Maltese Cross, the timepiece that bears the hallmark of Geneva beats at 4 hz has a power reserved of 40 hours thanks to the 308 parts of this workhorse.

    Presented in excellent overall condition and complete with its warranty and accessories, this surely is a watch that’s not only bang for the buck, but one that cures the curiosity of the enthusiast of the mechanical world of horology.

  • Artist Biography

    Vacheron Constantin

    Swiss • 1755

    The world's oldest watch brand in continuous operation since its founding in 1755, Vacheron Constantin was the first watch company to manufacture movements with interchangeable parts beginning in 1839. Vacheron's watches are admired for their Latin-influenced case designs, well-balanced proportions and exquisitely finished movements of the highest quality. The Geneva-based manufacturer is known for their highly complicated masterpieces, including the King Farouk Grand Complication made in 1935, the Tour de l'Ile that was the most complicated serially produced wristwatch when introduced in 2005 and the 57260 — the world’s most complicated watch — made in 2015.

    Key vintage models include minute repeating wristwatches such as the references 4261, chronographs such as the references 4178 and 6087 and the oversized Cioccolotone models such as ref. 4737. Collectors also appreciate Vacheron's Chronometer Royal pocket and wristwatches, as well as the '222,' the brand's first luxury sports watch produced from 1977 through 1984.
