Overview
The Seawater Cliff motif in enamel, engraving and diamonds
The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art piece Moonlight Slivers, reference 2405A/000R-H022, in 18K pink gold with the same 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.
This execution is the same Moonlight Slivers case, dial and calibre 2460 movement as the white gold reference, in 18K 5N pink gold. The strap stays dark blue alligator leather, and the triple folding clasp is 18K pink gold rather than white gold.
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.
