OVERSEAS DUAL TIME
TRADITIONNELLE COMPLETE CALENDAR PLATINE
NEW EXCELLENCE PLATINE
In addition to the Overseas Dual Time, Vacheron Constantin has previewed its
newest entry into the Excellence Platine collection, all of which are composed
with platinum cases, sand blasted platinum dials and dark blue alligator straps.
It’s a luxury package that the brand has utilized since 2006 to house a select
collection of simple and complex watches.
In 2018 the newest entry is the Traditionnelle Complete Calendar Collection
Excellence Platine. Inside is automatic Caliber 2460 QCL that drives central
hours, minutes and seconds, complete calendar (day, date and month), moon
phase and age of the moon. The unusually accurate moon-phase indication
requires just one adjustment every 122 years (compared with three years for a
simple moon phase).
As usual with this collection, the watch is a limited edition, here made as a
100-piece edition and fitted with the aforementioned dark blue alligator leather
strap, which is made even more luxurious with hand-stitched 950 platinum and
silk thread and secured by a polished half Maltese cross-shaped folding clasp in
950 platinum. Price: $68,500.
