Vacheron Constantin’s 'Collection Excellence Platine' features some of the brand’s most exquisite timepieces beautifully rendered in full platinum, with the case, dial, buckle and even strap stitching all made from the exquisite material.
In 2012, the Malte Tourbillon was added to the collection in a very limited run of just 50 pieces. Featuring the brand’s signature Maltese Cross emblem as the shape of the tourbillon carriage, the mechanism itself alone features 169 components and is completely hand finished, bearing the Geneva Seal. Adding to the uniqueness of the reference is the beautiful tonneau shaped case which is extremely substantial on the wrist but still maintains its elegance and classic aesthetics.
