The Vacheron Constantin Ref. 47621 presents a combination of brilliant gem-setting and technical superiority.  Housed in an 18k white gold case with chiseled stepped lugs characteristic of the Malte-styling, one can also admire the renowned Lemania-based calibre 1141 through the sapphire crystal display back.  This calibre is heralded as the best manual-winding chronograph movements of its epoch.  The case further set with 9.11 carats of calibré-cut diamonds exalts this timepiece into a stratosphere of luxury and bejeweled elegance.
