Vacheron Constantin originally introduced their Traditionnelle World Time model at SIHH in 2011, made only in pink gold. This world time model shows every single time zone on the planet, which includes the 24 time zones, in addition to the half and quarter hour time zones for a total of 37 timezones. 

In 2014, Vacheron Constantin released a Traditionnelle World Time for the Collection Excellence Platine limited to 100 pieces. Since platinum holds a special place in the realm of prestige watchmaking, Vacheron Constantin created a collection dedicated to this precious metal in 2006, named the Collection Excellence Platine. Exclusively composed of exceptional models issued in limited editions, all the watches in this special collection feature platinum cases, dials, hands, crowns, pushers, buckles, and even interwoven platinum and silk thread stitching in their straps. In addition, the watch is further differentiated by the platinum hallmark stamped on the dial at 4 o’clock, to indicate that the dial is made of platinum. Watches that can display the entire set of time-zones are rare and exceptional, so it's no wonder that Vacheron would include this model in their Collection Excellence Platine.
