Overview
The Seawater Cliff, in cloisonné enamel
The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Tribute to Traditional Symbols – Eternal Flow, reference 2400A/000R-H024, in 18K pink gold with the same cloisonné enamel Seawater Cliff motif and hand-engraved bats on the bezel, on a burgundy alligator strap. Self-winding calibre 2460 with hours and minutes; 38 mm, 9.88 mm high, Hallmark of Geneva certified.
This execution is the same Tribute to Traditional Symbols case and calibre 2460 movement as the white gold reference, carrying the same Seawater Cliff motif in cloisonné enamel and the same hand-engraved bats on the bezel, in 18K 5N pink gold. The strap is burgundy alligator leather rather than dark blue, closed by an 18K pink gold triple folding clasp.
The reference 2400A/000R-H024 is Vacheron Constantin's Métiers d'Art Tribute to Traditional Symbols, a limited edition in 18K 5N pink gold built around what the brand calls the 'Seawater Cliff', a motif pairing the fluidity of water against the mass of a mountain. The brand reads it as Chinese cultural imagery for lasting unification, stability, prosperity and longevity, and carries the motif across both the dial and the winding rotor. The 18K gold dial is worked in cloisonné enamel, with the bezel hand-engraved with bats that the brand says reinforce the motif's symbolism. The case is 38 mm across and 9.88 mm high, on a burgundy alligator leather strap closed by an 18K 5N pink gold triple folding clasp.
The movement is the self-winding calibre 2460, 26.2 mm across and 3.6 mm high, with 182 parts and 27 jewels, running at 28,800 V.P.H. (4 Hz) for a stated 40-hour power reserve, and shows hours and minutes by leaf-shaped hands in 18K gold rather than by aperture, unlike the Tribute to Great Civilisations pieces. The watch is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva, which the brand's own account dates to 1886, when the Republic and Canton of Geneva introduced the mark as a standard for quality watchmaking finished in the canton.
For collectors
The Seawater Cliff motif appears twice on this watch - on the dial and again on the winding rotor seen through the case back - which the page states explicitly, rather than the rotor carrying a separate, unrelated decoration as on some other Métiers d'Art pieces.
