A one-of-a-kind masterpiece, this Planetaria watch is part of Vacheron Constantin's Les Cabinotiers collections - the series reserved for the most complicated one-off watches. The new piece is powered by a new Grand Complication movement, caliber 1991, which was four years in the research and development stages. The watch boasts a retrograde jumping perpetual calendar that is regulated by a double-axis tourbillon and precise moonphases for both the northern and southern hemispheres, which are depicted by three-dimensional globes on the dial. It also is equipped with a retrograde date, a circular retrograde month and day indicator, and day/night indications for the two hemispheres. It is regulated by a double-axis tourbillon that is three-dimensional, and housed in an armillary sphere, which is also visible via a sapphire window in the watch case side. The incredible new manual-wind caliber consists of 745 components and carries the Hallmark of Geneva certification attesting to the incredible craftsmanship and finishing that goes into each and every part. This one-of-a-kind timepiece is crafted in 18-karat 5N pink gold with an opaline silvered dial.

Operating uninterrupted for 260 years, Vacheron Constantin is the oldest watchmaking manufacturer in Switzerland. At no time in history has the watchmaker ceased to create, overcome and enhance the horological landscape, contributing greatly to the technical advancements that we benefit from today. To date, the company still strives to achieve the best artistry, agility and dependability, making its watches interactive and robust in a bid to both fascinate and serve its wearer.The limitlessness of the brand is reflected by the astrological inspiration of its collections. Even from its Traditionnelle line, the sculpted dragons and birds found on the watch surface prance around an eye-catching sphere of linear and triangular lines that allude to the horoscopic symbol. Similarly celestial, the Fistysix and Égérie collections depict the versatility of time through sun and moon phase displays and feature a complex, self-winding mechanism.
