Overview

An openface tourbillon with a retrograde date

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface, reference 6010T/000P-H055, in 950 platinum with an openface 18K gold dial marking the brand's 270th anniversary, on a dark blue alligator strap. Self-winding calibre 2162 R31/270 with tourbillon and retrograde date; 41 mm, 11.07 mm high, certified to the Hallmark of Geneva, limited to 370 pieces.

The reference 6010T/000P-H055 is Vacheron Constantin's Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface, made for the brand's 270th anniversary in a stated limited edition of 370 pieces. The 950 platinum case is 41 mm across and 11.07 mm high, with the collection's stepped lugs, slim bezel and fluted case back. The openface dial is 18K gold, hand-guillochéd in the 270th anniversary pattern the brand ties to its Maltese cross, and shows a retrograde hand-type date on a blued gold hand alongside 18K gold dauphine hour and minute hands, applied hour-markers and a railway-style minute track; small seconds sit on the tourbillon carriage. It is worn on a dark blue alligator leather strap with a 950 platinum triple folding clasp.

The self-winding calibre 2162 R31/270 combines a tourbillon with a retrograde date display, and the brand describes it as carrying a côte unique finish across the bridges and a discreet anniversary signature; the page gives no diameter or height for the movement itself. It has 242 parts and 30 jewels, running at 18,000 V.P.H. (2.5 Hz) for a stated 72-hour power reserve, and the openface construction means the movement's architecture is visible through the dial side as well as the sapphire case back. The watch is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva, which the brand dates to 1886 and reads as a mark of provenance and finishing quality.

For collectors

The openface construction shows the movement from the dial side as well as through the case back -- the retrograde date hand and the tourbillon carriage both sit in view at once, which is the point of this execution over a closed-dial equivalent.
