A Study in Precious Metal Sophistication
Vacheron Constantin continues to enrich its esteemed Overseas collection, unveiling two exceptional solid-gold interpretations of its Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin masterpiece. These new timepieces represent a duality of luxury. The first, reference 4300V/220R-H144, is a vision in 18k 5N pink gold, featuring a case, bracelet, and dial all crafted from the same warm, precious metal. Subtle blue accents on the month display and minute track provide a sophisticated contrast. Its counterpart, reference 4300V/220G-H151, offers a more contemporary statement. Forged from 18k white gold, it is distinguished by a captivating burgundy sunburst lacquer dial, presenting a bold yet impeccably refined aesthetic that pushes the collection’s design language in a new direction.
The Heart of Ultra-Thin Complication
Beneath their distinct exteriors, both models share the same formidable engineering that defines the Overseas collection. They are housed in the iconic 41.5mm case, which boasts a remarkable thinness of just 8.1mm—a testament to Vacheron Constantin’s mastery of ultra-thin watchmaking. The horological heart of these pieces is the celebrated Caliber 1120 QP/1. This self-winding movement, comprising 276 components, flawlessly orchestrates the perpetual calendar and moonphase complications. Visible through a sapphire crystal caseback, the intricate mechanism is powered by a stunning 22k gold rotor, ensuring a 40-hour power reserve and cementing its status as a marvel of haute horlogerie.
Unmatched Versatility and Exquisite Detailing
Embodying the spirit of a modern luxury sports watch, these timepieces offer exceptional versatility thanks to Vacheron Constantin’s ingenious quick-release strap system. Each watch is delivered with its signature integrated bracelet in matching gold, which includes a convenient comfort-adjustment system. Further enhancing their adaptability, the pink gold model is accompanied by two additional straps in blue and white rubber. The white gold version with its burgundy dial is complemented by straps in matching burgundy and crisp white rubber. This thoughtful inclusion allows the wearer to effortlessly transition the watch’s character from formal elegance to casual sportiness. Every detail is considered, including moonphase discs finished to perfectly match their respective dials for a truly cohesive design.
Positioned at the Apex of Horology
With an official retail price of $120,000 USD, both new variants are positioned as premier acquisitions for the discerning collector. They are not merely new colorways but distinct personalities catering to different facets of luxury taste. The full pink gold reference exudes a classic, resplendent opulence, making it arguably the most formal expression in the lineup. In contrast, the white gold and burgundy model projects a confident, modern spirit. These additions further solidify the Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin’s standing as a pinnacle of sports-luxe watchmaking, offering collectors new and compelling reasons to admire this iconic design.
