Vacheron Constantin Collection Excellence Platine

Vacheron Constantin recently announced a larger Excellence Platine Patrimony Contemporary model. Previously available in a 40 mm diameter case, it is now available in 42 mm. The 7.3 mm ultra-thin case is fully polished, in solid 950 platinum. To achieve a thickness of only 7.3, the movement is a mere 2.45 mm thick.

Powering the Excellence Platine is in-house caliber VC 1120, with the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva stamp (a certification available to watchmakers in the Canton of Geneva that requires a high level of hand finishing). The beautifully finished self-winding caliber features circular graining, Côtes de Genève, and a skeletonized oscillating weight -- all visible through a transparent caseback.
