Housing an ultra-slim in-house Calibre 1120 QP that displays the day, date, month and year on a four-year cycle, the perpetual calendar boasts a dial of blue-grey tinted mother-of-pearl for the white gold model and white mother-of-pearl for the pink gold model, encircled by a dazzling bezel set with 76 round-cut diamonds, with a round-cut diamond adorning the crown.

A first for the collection, the watch features an alligator leather strap that’s interchangeable at the touch of a push-button.
A bonus for 2022 is Vacheron Constantin’s limited edition Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, a new signature model with a platinum case and a salmon-coloured dial with immaculate detailing. Fitted with an alligator leather strap, the Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is powered by an in-house manual-winding Calibre 1142 QP, one of the most highly prized historical calibres for collectors.
