Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Les Aérostiers Paris 1784

This remarkable timepiece pays tribute to the pioneering spirit of 18th-century aeronauts. The dial features a meticulously hand-engraved and micro-sculpted hot air balloon, inspired by the historic flight over Paris in 1784, set against a translucent plique-à-jour enamel background that evokes the sky. The 40mm 18k white gold case, with a thickness of 12. 80mm, houses the automatic Caliber 2460 G4/1, offering a unique time display through four apertures indicating hours, minutes, day, and date, with a 40-hour power reserve. The sapphire crystal provides clear visibility of the intricate dial. A blue alligator leather strap complements the watch's aviation-inspired theme. Water-resistant up to 30 meters, this limited edition timepiece exemplifies Vacheron Constantin's commitment to artistic craftsmanship and technical innovation.
