Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar 270th

To mark its monumental 270th anniversary, Vacheron Constantin unveils the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar, a highly limited and technically masterful creation that fuses two of haute horlogerie’s most revered complications into a remarkably slim platinum case.Featuring a new in-house calibre, refined decorative details, and an exclusive anniversary guilloché motif, this timepiece is not only a celebration of the brand’s legacy but also a bold statement of its enduring command of watchmaking excellence.
The refined 42mm case is crafted from 950 platinum, with a harmonious blend of polished surfaces and finely fluted case sides that echo the Maison’s classical codes. Measuring just 11.1mm in thickness, the case remains impressively slim given the complexity within, a feat made possible by the peripheral rotor construction and ultra-thin movement architecture. A domed sapphire crystal rises subtly from the bezel, contributing to the overall sense of elegant restraint and proportion.
On the reverse, a sapphire exhibition caseback offers an unobstructed view of the calibre 2162 QP/270 and its striking decoration. Of particular note is the commemorative ‘côte unique’ finish applied to the bridges, a motif developed specifically for the 270th anniversary, visible only on this limited edition. The Hallmark of Geneva seal is also present, reaffirming the Maison’s standards of finishing, precision, and craftsmanship.
It comes equipped with a knurled platinum crown and minimalist integrated lugs that preserve the clean geometry of the Traditionnelle case family. The screw-down caseback maintains visual elegance while allowing for practical access if required. Water-resistance can reach up to 30 meters (100 feet).
Time is exhibited on a silvery-toned dial crafted from 18k gold and adorned with an intricate hand-guilloché pattern, created exclusively for Vacheron Constantin’s 270th anniversary. The engraved motif is inspired by the brand’s Maltese cross emblem and adds a layer of depth and radiance that shifts subtly with the light. The hours are marked by applied 18k white gold indices set along a traditional railway-style minute track, while faceted Dauphine hands in matching white gold sweep across the dial with crisp precision.The perpetual calendar layout is arranged in a classic triple-register configuration: the month is displayed at 12 o’clock, the date at 3 o’clock, and the day of the week at 9 o’clock, all with legible blue inscriptions that contrast elegantly against the silvery backdrop. A small round aperture at 1:30 provides the leap year indication, integrated seamlessly into the design. Anchoring the display is a large tourbillon aperture at 6 o’clock, where the movement’s rotating escapement, held in a Maltese cross-shaped cage, provides a mesmerizing mechanical focal point.Seconds are displayed via a peripheral scale around the tourbillon, allowing the escapement to serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. The combination of traditional finishing, balanced layout, and thoughtful anniversary detailing results in a dial that feels both highly technical and undeniably refined, an unmistakable tribute to Vacheron Constantin’s enduring heritage.
