Vacheron Constantin has launched a new China limited edition quartz watch from Égérie collection which is inspired by Chinese Valentine’s Day. This numbered and engraved 150-piece edition is dedicated to Mainland China.
Inspired by Chinese classical attire, the watch evokes signature pleats pattern made by tapestry technique with a gossamer pink, opaline dial – a new color for the Vacheron Constantin Égérie collection.
The uniqueness of the gossamer pink can be also found in both the new double wrap-around calf leather strap and an interchangeable alligator leather strap, eulogizing the profile of Pibo, an essential, divine scarf of the Chinese nymphs.
The refined off-centered dial is adorned with 34 brilliant-cut diamonds, interpreting the modern aesthetic codes cherished by Vacheron Constantin, and echoes the meaning of “preference” in Chinese.
Set with a magnificent form of the “Pleats” pattern, the dial is surrounded by 62 diamonds on the whole circle. It is carefully decorated with “tapestry” craftsmanship which restores the charming drapes of Haute Couture.
To highlight a harmonious composition, the crown between 1 and 2 o’clock is topped with a moonstone. The 18K 5N pink gold hours and minutes hands are whirling around a circular pearl minute track.
