Vacheron Constantin is one of the few haute horlogerie brands whose catalogue is rife with triple or complete calendar watches. These timepieces, while being packed with technical advancements, also manage to complement the maison’s design DNA without being too similar. The Traditionnelle collection goes back to the 18th century for inspiration featuring a design that speaks of elegance with clean lines, polished surfaces, and uncluttered organisation of complications.

This reference 4010T/000G was added to the Traditionnelle family in 2021 as a white gold iteration with a slate grey dial. The triple calendar is added so meticulously on the dial one can barely feel the presence of several complications. The dial with an understated colour palette and the clean execution is where this watch really shines. As typical with a complete calendar, the reference shows the day of the week, month, the date on the periphery indicated by a pointer hand, and a 122-year accurate moonphase display that also shows the age of the moon via Arabic numerals running from 0 to 29½. The faceted hands and white gold indices bear evidence of the maison’s unparalleled craftsmanship.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
