Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Complete Calendar Openface

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.

The Traditionelle collection has been home to some of Vacheron’s loveliest watches, from simple, time-only pieces to highly complicated masterpieces of haute horlogerie.

This particular Traditionelle, a Reference VC-4020T/000R features a 41mm 18k rose gold case with an, as its name suggests, open-face skeleton dial with a matching handset, a signed crown, a sapphire exhibition caseback, and Vacheron's Calibre  2460 QCL/2 automatic-winding movement beating away within.

This striking piece has seen only one owner and is accompanied by its full kit!

Few manufactures can claim a lineage as long or as rich as Vacheron Constantin. Established in 1755, the manufacture soon made a reputation for the elegance of its products, by making pocket watches with complicated movements and engine-turned dials. Even today, these are marks of a manufacturer’s expertise, due to the skill and precision involved in crafting them, so for Vacheron Constantin to have achieved this in the eighteenth century is quite an impressive feat.

This expertise carried them through the 19th century, earning gold medals at National Exhibitions and blazing trails in the area of anti-magnetic timepieces. The 20th century saw further achievements, such as the opening of its boutique on the Quai de L’Ile in Geneva, where it still resides today. Even through the Depression and the Second World War, when many watch companies were forced to band together with competitors or else face closure, the manufacture continued to thrive—as it does to this day.
