Vacheron is known for its perfectly stylish and formal watch collection, the Patrimony collection. At this SIHH, VC is introducing a limited edition of 100 pieces of a Platinum version of a super slim watch. This Platinum watch perfect for an important board meeting measures at just 4.05 mm thickness! Functions on the watch are Hours, minutes. A moon phase complication adorns the dial. Perpetual calendar (day of the week, date, 48-month display with leap year indication) make this watch a complete package for your this year’s expensive watch investment !
Unlike simple calendar watches that have to be manually corrected after every month with less than 31 days, the perpetual calendar takes account of the leap-year cycle with its 31-, 30- and 28-day months, as well as the quadrennial recurrence of February 29th. The Vacheron Constantin limited edition 2016 watch runs on Caliber 1120 QP built by the brand.

The watch dials comfortably sit on dial with a slight curve. A perfectly crafted seconds sub dial sits elegantly at 6. The slim watches are to be manually wound to power up.
