The Vacheron Constantin Perpetual Calendar Ref. 43031 stands as the brand’s definitive perpetual calendar, with production ceasing in 1995 -2002, making this 18K yellow gold model particularly collectible. This 36mm dress watch features a striking cream guilloché dial with recessed sub-dials displaying moon phase (crafted from lapis lazuli), weekday, month, leap year, and date indications, creating remarkable depth. The monochromatic aesthetic is enhanced by gold hands and silver sub-dial hands.
Housed within the polished 18k yellow gold case with stepped bezel is the legendary caliber 1120/2 automatic movement. At just 2.45mm thick, this 36-jewel movement with its 21K gold rotor is among the thinnest in haute horlogerie. Based on the historic Jaeger-LeCoultre 920 platform also used by Patek Philippe, it bears the prestigious Geneva Seal. The watch’s sub-8mm profile ensures wearing comfort while four case pushers facilitate calendar adjustments, making it a perfect blend of technical excellence and elegant design. It bears the Seal of Geneva, as a testimony to a high accolade of quality.
