Overview

A perpetual calendar read through an open dial

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Retrograde Date Openface, reference 4030T/000P-H054, in 950 platinum with an openface 18K gold dial for the 270th anniversary, on a dark blue alligator strap. Self-winding calibre 2460 QPR/270 with a perpetual calendar and retrograde date; 41 mm, 10.94 mm high, certified Hallmark of Geneva, limited to 370 pieces.

The reference 4030T/000P-H054 is Vacheron Constantin's Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Retrograde Date Openface, made for the brand's 270th anniversary in a stated limited edition of 370 pieces. The case is 950 platinum, 41 mm across and 10.94 mm high, with the collection's stepped lugs, slim bezel and fluted case back. The silver-toned openface dial is 18K gold, hand-guillochéd in the anniversary Maltese-cross pattern, with the month and day shown through apertures, a blued 18K gold hand giving a retrograde date, 18K gold moons, dauphine hour and minute hands and applied hour-markers, against a railway-style minute track. It is worn on a dark blue alligator leather strap with a 950 platinum triple folding clasp.

The self-winding calibre 2460 QPR/270 carries a full perpetual calendar -- month and day by aperture, a retrograde date, leap year and what the brand calls a precision moon phase -- finished, the brand says, with a côte unique treatment across the bridges and a discreet anniversary signature. It measures 29 mm across and 5.4 mm high, with 265 parts and 27 jewels, running at 28,800 V.P.H. (4 Hz) for a stated 40-hour power reserve. The watch is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva, which the brand traces to 1886 and describes as standing for provenance, craftsmanship and reliability.

For collectors

The month and day are shown through apertures while the date is retrograde and the moon phase is a separate precision-set display -- three different display methods on one calendar, which the openface construction lets a buyer see combined in the movement's own layout rather than only as printed dial text.
