For those of you who find yourselves captivated by the world of haute horology, or simply enjoy indulging in the finer things in life, get ready to be utterly charmed. Vacheron Constantin, a name synonymous with heritage and luxury, has presented two exquisite new additions to its Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin collection. And these new models? So stunning, they are the perfect addition to any collection.

Striking Elegance in Gold (Both Pink and White)

First up is a gorgeous model in pink gold. This Vacheron Constantin timepiece exudes warmth and sophistication from every angle, making it absolutely irresistible. The case and bracelet are crafted in — as the name suggests, pink gold — and they are perfectly complemented by a matching pink gold dial with a sunburst satin finish that catches the light beautifully. The moon-phase display, a golden-toned disc, glows serenely at the six o’clock position, while a subtle blue minutes track adds a delightful pop of colour, creating a playful contrast in a sea of pink gold. And at a mere 8.1mm thick (or more accurately, thin) the watch feels delicate and graceful on the wrist, a true reflection of its ‘ultra-thin’ quality.

But the story doesn’t end there. The other new model is just as captivating, offering a completely different aesthetic. It’s presented in a crisp white gold case, which provides a striking, high-contrast look against the rich burgundy lacquer dial it boasts. The combination is pure magic — a bold, confident pairing that works like a dream. The moon-phase disc is also in burgundy, while the numerals and indexes are painted in pristine white.

The Defining Design of Vacheron Constantin Overseas Collection

Beyond the dials, both timepieces share the distinctive and instantly recognisable Overseas design language. The 41.5mm case features the iconic six-sided bezel — a nod to the brand’s Maltese cross emblem — that gives the collection its unique character. What’s more, both models come with an ingenious and quick-release interchangeable strap system, allowing its wearer to switch up their style in a matter of seconds without any tools. While the pink gold model comes with a matching pink gold bracelet (along with blue and white rubber straps), and the white gold one with a white gold bracelet (plus burgundy and white rubber straps), one can easily swap them out for a more casual or sporty look, depending on the occasion.

The Heartbeat of the Watch

It’s what’s inside that truly makes these timepieces extraordinary. Powering the new models is the Calibre 1120 QP/1, an ultra-thin self-winding perpetual calendar movement that is a marvel of horological engineering. Measuring a mere 4.05mm thick, this intricate movement comprises 276 components and 36 jewels. With a power reserve of 40 hours, it beats at a frequency of 19,800 vibrations per hour (2.75 Hz).

What makes a perpetual calendar so special is its ability to automatically account for varying month lengths and even leap years, meaning it won’t need any manual adjustment until the year 2100. The movement masterfully displays the day, date, month, and leap year, along with the hours, minutes, and the beautiful moon phase.

And if you ever want to admire this miniature masterpiece, simply turn the watch over. A transparent sapphire caseback reveals the stunning hand-finished movement, complete with a 22K gold oscillating weight adorned with a compass rose motif. Every component is meticulously finished by hand using classic Haute Horlogerie techniques like Côtes de Genève and chamfering, creating a sight that is as beautiful as the dial itself.

Even with all these complex complications, the case remains wonderfully thin and elegant, a perfect fusion of technical prowess and sophisticated design. It’s a collection that proves you can indeed have it all.
