Following the same model as last year, we get two versions of the watch, one in platinum with a blue dial, and one in 18ct 5N pink gold with a bronze-tone dial. Both watches are powered by Vacheron’s own automatic Calibre 2640 G4 which allows the watch to display jumping hour, minute, day and date using four little apertures on the dial.
The process by which they created the dial is still as impressive and creative as it was before. The gold dials are hand-engraved and decorated with Grand Feu enamel inspired by the ancient art of papercutting called Jianzhi. This is still impressive and slightly different to the Ox edition, using what looks like palm fronds for inspiration rather than regular leaves.
Only 12 of each version will be made and are available via Vacheron Constantin boutiques for roughly $140,000 USD.
