Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Review

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin fully embodies Vacheron Constantin's classic aesthetics dating back to the 18th century. Features include a stepped round case with a fluted case back, straight lugs, a slim bezel, and classic, vintage-inspired designs such as the railway-style minute track and hands. Now, with its retro-inspired 36.5mm case diameter, the overall look maintains a modern sophistication while incorporating vintage details throughout.

The milky silver-white dial has an overall matte finish with a touch of sophisticated sheen. Faceted dauphine hands and applied baton hour markers are crafted from 18K 5N pink gold. Every detail on the dial, from the typography to the layout, has been meticulously planned to ensure clear readability without appearing cramped. Three symmetrical circular subdials at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock are decorated with fine concentric patterns, indicating the date, day of the week, month, and leap year, respectively. The moon phase and lunar age are displayed at 6 o'clock on a deep blue background, with the bezel decorated in 18K 5N pink gold and beveled.

With a diameter of 36.5 mm and a thickness of only 8.43 mm, the fully polished case remains one of the thinnest, smallest, and most compact perpetual calendar watches currently available. The 1120 QP movement, only 4.05 mm thick, houses the perpetual calendar function. The movement is certified with the Geneva Seal, has a frequency of 2.75 Hz, vibrates 19,800 times per hour, and has a 40-hour power reserve, which is slightly insufficient but completely understandable. The perpetual calendar function also ensures that no manual adjustment is needed until 2100.
