Overview
A time-and-date Traditionnelle, self-winding
The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Self-Winding, reference 87172/000R-9302, in 18K pink gold with a silver-toned opaline dial, small seconds at 9 o'clock and a date window at 3, on a brown alligator strap. Self-winding calibre 2455/1 with balance-stop; 38 mm, 8.02 mm high, certified to the Hallmark of Geneva.
The reference 87172/000R-9302 is Vacheron Constantin's Traditionnelle Self-Winding in what the brand calls 18K 5N rose gold. Vacheron Constantin describes the case back's exterior as grooved and the minute track as railway-style, both of which the brand ties to the Traditionnelle collection's established look. The silver-toned opaline dial reads small seconds at 9 o'clock, with a date shown opposite at 3 o'clock, both in a window rather than by hand; hour and minute hands are 18K gold dauphine-style, with applied hour-markers in the same metal. The case measures 38 mm across and 8.02 mm high, water-resistant to 30 m, on a brown alligator leather strap closed by an 18K pink gold Ardillon buckle.
The self-winding calibre 2455/1 drives the hours, minutes, small seconds and date: 26.2 mm across, 3.6 mm high, 194 parts and 27 jewels, running at 28,800 V.P.H. (4 Hz) for a stated 40-hour power reserve, with a balance-stop function. Turning the watch over, an openworked case back shows an elevated oscillating weight in 22K gold, which the brand describes as shaped by the Maltese cross. The watch is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva; the brand's own account dates the mark to 1886, when the Republic and Canton of Geneva established it as a standard for provenance, craftsmanship and reliability.
For collectors
Vacheron Constantin describes the calibre 2455/1's oscillating weight as elevated above the movement plate.
