Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin

Vacheron Constantin celebrates its 250th anniversary with three new expressions of the Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, showcasing the maison’s enduring commitment to classical watchmaking at the highest level. Offered in white gold, pink gold, and a gem-set white gold edition, these references blend timeless design with one of horology’s most revered complications. Honouring the aesthetic codes of 18th-century Haute Horlogerie, each model is powered by the ultra-thin Calibre 1120 QP and reflects a perfect harmony between mechanical sophistication and refined elegance.
Crafted from either 18K white gold, 18K 5N pink gold, or white gold set with brilliant-cut diamonds, the Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin features a round, stepped case measuring 36.5mm in diameter and just 8.43mm in thickness. Its classical silhouette is accentuated by straight lugs and a slender bezel, while the polished finishing reflects the refined elegance typical of Geneva Haute Horlogerie. Despite its compact form, the watch projects a strong presence on the wrist thanks to its harmonious proportions and clarity of design.A transparent sapphire crystal caseback reveals the beautifully finished automatic movement within, including the openworked 22K gold rotor shaped like the brand’s Maltese Cross emblem. The engraving of Vacheron Constantin’s 270th anniversary on pieces produced in 2025 further enhances the collector appeal of this piece.

The crown is crafted in matching gold for each version: white or pink, and in the diamond-set model, it is adorned with a brilliant-cut diamond for added elegance. A cambered sapphire crystal protects the dial, offering clear, distortion-free legibility. Water-resistance can reach up to 30 meters (100 feet).

The dial is presented in a refined silver-toned opaline finish, designed to evoke the spirit of classic 18th-century watchmaking. A trio of symmetrically aligned sub-dials displays the day, date, and month respectively, each slightly recessed and bordered for improved legibility. The moonphase and age of the moon are displayed at 6 o’clock, mirroring the shape and balance of the upper indicators and rounding out the perpetual calendar layout.

Faceted Dauphine-style hands in either 18K white gold or pink gold glide above applied baton-style hour markers crafted in matching tones. The classic railway minute track sits along the periphery, adding a vintage touch while reinforcing the symmetrical clarity that defines the Traditionnelle series.While each of the three models adheres to this layout, the color details vary: the pink gold version is paired with a deep blue moonphase disc and matching strap, while the white gold model introduces a lighter moonphase hue and an elegant light brown strap. The gem-set variant features white gold accents throughout and a glittering bezel and crown.
