Overview
The Seawater Cliff motif in enamel, engraving and diamonds
The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art piece Moonlight Slivers, reference 2405A/000G-H021, in 18K white gold with an enamelled, engraved and diamond-set Seawater Cliff dial, on a dark blue alligator strap. Self-winding calibre 2460 with hours, minutes and balance-stop; 38 mm, 9.88 mm high, Hallmark-certified.
The reference 2405A is Vacheron Constantin's Métiers d'Art piece Tribute to Traditional Symbols - Moonlight Slivers, built on the same case, dial and calibre in two metals: 18K white gold and 18K pink gold, both worn on a dark blue alligator strap. The motif is what the brand calls the Seawater Cliff -- water set against a mountain, read on the page as a Chinese symbol of lasting unity, stability, prosperity and long life. The 18K gold dial sits on a blue Grand Feu enamel base on both executions, with the motif's other elements hand-engraved in 18K gold or set with 236 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling around 0.29 carats; the brand credits enamelling, hand-engraving and diamond-setting together for the piece, and the same motif continues onto the winding rotor on the reverse. Leaf-shaped hour and minute hands are also 18K gold. Each case is 38 mm across and 9.88 mm high, with a transparent sapphire case back, water-resistant to 30 m.
Both executions share the self-winding calibre 2460, keeping to hours, minutes and a balance-stop function without a calendar or further complication: 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. Each is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva, which Vacheron Constantin dates to a Geneva standard set in 1886 for finishing, provenance and reliability, and each is closed by a triple folding clasp in the case metal.
For collectors
The engraved and enamelled motif continues onto the movement's own winding rotor on both executions, visible through the sapphire case back -- worth knowing for a buyer who wants the Seawater Cliff motif to read from both sides of the watch, not the dial alone.
