Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Moon Phase

The Traditionnelle moon phase watch reveals the lunar display through the prism of virtuoso jewellery skills. Entirely paved with diamonds, this bejewelled version of the existing model has been subtly redesigned to ensure perfectly proportioned shapes. The dial features the snow-setting technique, according to which 548 round-cut diamonds in ten different diameters ranging from 0.7 to 1.5 mm are randomly placed to achieve a striking effect, as if melting seamlessly into the light. In addition to the paving technique, which requires the skilled and experienced gemsetter to master the available space, the additional difficulty is to successfully bypass the moon phase, follow the curve of the power-reserve indication and integrate the white gold hour-markers.  The small seconds counter, features 38 diamonds rimmed by 24 stones to enhance legibility. Prong setting extends to 225 round-cut diamonds totalling approximately 4.8 carats and adorning the bezel, case middle, lugs and crown.
