Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon Phoenix and the Dragon Pink Gold / Blue

Introduced in 2021, the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon Phoenix and the Dragon (Ref. 6040T/000R-B960) pays homage to Chinese mythology, depicting the legendary phoenix and dragon in a harmonious dance symbolizing balance and prosperity. This exquisite timepiece is part of a limited edition of 16 pieces, each meticulously crafted to showcase Vacheron Constantin's dedication to artistry and horological excellence. The watch features a 41mm 18K 5N pink gold case with a finely engraved bezel and lugs, measuring 11. 21mm in thickness. The hand-guilloché blue dial serves as a canvas for the intricately sculpted 18K pink gold appliques of the phoenix and dragon, brought to life through the pounced ornament technique, which involves meticulous hand-finishing to achieve remarkable detail. Dauphine-style hands glide over the dial, indicating hours and minutes, while the tourbillon at 6 o'clock, bearing Vacheron Constantin's Maltese cross emblem, functions as a small seconds indicator. At the heart of this masterpiece lies the in-house caliber 2160/1, an ultra-thin self-winding movement equipped with a peripheral rotor, allowing an unobstructed view of the movement through the sapphire crystal caseback.
