Catalogue description

Dealer description — Analog/Shift

The Holy Trinity of watch brands: Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin. Far less understood than either of its respected compatriots, Vacheron Constantin has a legacy of producing some of the very finest haute horlogerie complications in history — and some of the loveliest. Though the maison has several excellent collections, its Traditionnelle collection is in our opinion home to some of their very best watches, from simple, time-only models to highly complicated masterpieces. This piece, a spectacular Complete Calendar Reference 4010T/000R-B344 , dates to 2022. Housed in a 41mm 18k pink gold case with a smooth bezel, it features a handsome white dial with applied 18k hour indices, a matching ‘dauphine’ handset, an printed calendar track with corresponding pointer hand, month and day windows at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions respectively, and a moonphase display located at 6 o‘clock. Measuring just 10.72mm thick, this stunner is powered by an impressive automatic movement from Vacheron, the Calibre 2460 QCL/1. Boasting a power reserve of 40 hours, it provides an elegant dial layout with classic inspiration that looks clean and fresh while sitting beautifully on the wirst. This piece is the perfect example of Vacheron’s excellence in the haute horlogerie space. Whether worn as an accessory with formal-wear or more casually as your everyday watch, you’re sure to fall in love with it just as much as we have!

Atlas type guide

Calendar, moon-phase and perpetual calendar watches

Calendar complications range from a simple date to the perpetual calendar, which automatically allows for months of different lengths and leap years until 2100. Pocket watches with perpetual calendars were made in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; Patek Philippe made the first perpetual calendar wristwatch in 1925, and series production followed in 1941. The annual calendar (Patek Philippe, 1996) needs correction only once a year.

Moon-phase displays use a disc with two moons and 59 teeth advanced daily, approximating the 29.5-day lunation; more precise trains reduce the error to one day in over a century.

What to look for

  • Apertures or subsidiary dials for day, date, month and leap year.
  • Moon disc under a 'bosom' shaped aperture.
  • Recessed correctors on the case band for setting the calendar.

Dating clues

  • Triple-date wristwatches: popular c. 1940–1955.
  • Perpetual calendar wristwatches: from 1925 (unique) and 1941 (series).
