Overview
A 270th-anniversary Traditionnelle, in two metals
The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Manual-Winding, reference 82172/000R-H118, in 18K pink gold with a silver-toned dial carrying the brand's 270th-anniversary Maltese-cross pattern, on a grey alligator leather strap. Manual-winding calibre 4400 AS/270 with small seconds; 38 mm, 7.77 mm high, certified to the Hallmark of Geneva.
This execution is the same 270th-anniversary Traditionnelle Manual-Winding case and calibre 4400 AS/270 movement as the platinum reference, in 18K pink gold rather than platinum. The dial pattern, strap colour and the rest of the specification are unchanged; only the case metal and its matching Ardillon buckle differ.
The reference 82172 is Vacheron Constantin's Traditionnelle Manual-Winding built for the brand's 270th anniversary, issued in both platinum and pink gold, each in an edition the brand states as 370 pieces. The dial carries a pattern the brand designed for the anniversary around the Maltese cross motif, with small seconds at 6 o'clock and a railway-style minute track read against Dauphine-shaped hour and minute hands. The case keeps to what the brand calls the collection's usual codes, with lugs stepped away from the case, a slim bezel and a fluted caseback. It measures 38 mm across and 7.77 mm high, with a transparent sapphire caseback.
Inside is the manual-winding calibre 4400 AS/270 -- 28.6 mm across, 2.8 mm high, 127 parts and 21 jewels, running at 28,800 V.P.H. (4 Hz) for a power reserve the brand puts at nearly 3 days (the Caliber tab gives 65 hours). The brand names its own finish on this movement 'côte unique', paired with a discreet signature, both visible through the sapphire caseback. The watch is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva, a mark the brand's own account dates to 1886, when the Republic and Canton of Geneva put it in place as their own standard, tying it today to provenance, workmanship and reliability rather than one technical figure.
For collectors
The platinum and pink gold editions of this 270th-anniversary reference share their exact case dimensions and calibre 4400 AS/270 movement -- 38 mm, 7.77 mm high, 28.6 x 2.8 mm, 127 parts, 21 jewels -- with the family's non-anniversary 82172 references on the plain calibre 4400 AS, differing only in the calibre reference's '/270' suffix and in each dial's pattern.
