Overview
A perpetual calendar and column-wheel chronograph together
The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, reference 5000T/000P-B975, in 950 platinum with a salmon-coloured opaline dial, on a dark blue alligator strap. Manual-winding calibre 1142 QP, perpetual calendar to 2100 with moon phase and a 30-minute chronograph; 43 mm, 12.94 mm high, certified to the Hallmark of Geneva.
The reference 5000T/000P-B975 is Vacheron Constantin's Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Chronograph in 950 platinum, combining a perpetual calendar the brand says needs no adjustment until 2100 with a chronograph. The salmon-coloured opaline dial shows day and month through apertures, with the moon phase carried on a 950 platinum disc cut with two raised moons -- one smiling, one melancholy -- shown alternately against a frosted, star-scattered background; a tachymeter scale runs around the dial's edge, which the brand says lets the chronograph's central hand read an average speed. Hour and minute hands are 18K gold dauphine-style, with blued steel hands for the chronograph and date. The case measures 43 mm across and 12.94 mm high, water-resistant to 30 m, on a dark blue alligator strap closed by a platinum triple folding clasp.
The manual-winding calibre 1142 QP combines the perpetual calendar module with a chronograph totalling a maximum of 30 minutes: 27.5 mm across, 7.37 mm high, 324 parts and 21 jewels, running at 21,600 V.P.H. (3 Hz) for a stated 48-hour power reserve. The watch is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva; the brand's own account traces the mark to 1886, when the Republic and Canton of Geneva introduced it as their standard for quality, provenance and reliability.
For collectors
The chronograph here totals a maximum of 30 minutes; other Traditionnelle chronograph calibres described elsewhere in the group total a different span, a reminder that the counter length is a property of the specific calibre rather than fixed across the collection.
