The Vacheron Constantin 82230/000R-9963 is a refined testament to the Malte collection’s legacy, showcasing the maison’s mastery of both classic form and horological substance. Crafted in 18K pink gold, its iconic tonneau-shaped case, first introduced by Vacheron Constantin in 1912, frames a silver-toned dial with elegant 18K gold hands and applied hour markers. Powered by a manually wound movement providing a remarkable power reserve of nearly three days, this piece combines traditional watchmaking savoir-faire with a display of pure mechanical artistry, evidenced through its openworked exhibition caseback. The understated small seconds register at 6 o'clock and finely printed black minute track add texture and balance, while the alligator leather strap ensures both comfort and distinction. This reference is notable for its dedication to classical proportions and finishing, serving as a beacon for those who value Vacheron Constantin’s historic approach to the tonneau form. The 82230/000R-9963 occupies a significant place among collectors due to its blend of craftsmanship and a case shape that is central to the brand’s history. Its presence on the wrist speaks to more than mere aesthetic—it embodies a tradition reserved for the most discerning of connoisseurs. Such a reference is not only an elegant tool for time telling but also an emblematic piece of horological culture. Like New with Vacheron Constantin box and undated papers.
