Lot Essay

The Malte Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is Vacheron Constantin's first manually wound perpetual calendar chronograph.

Launched in 2000, one of the most appealing features of the model is the engraved moon phase disc. Vacheron Constantin continued using it in the "Tour de l'Ile" super complication and in the most recent "Patrimony Traditionnelle" perpetual calendar chronograph.

Fitted with calibre 1141, reference 47112 was in production until 2006/2007 and available exclusively in yellow gold or platinum such as the present watch.
