Vacheron Constantin 85290 Traditionnelle Day-Date / Power Reserve 18K Rose Gold Gray Dial

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Day-Date and Power Reserve in reference 85290/000R-B405 is a refined modern dress watch introduced in mid-2017, designed for collectors who want Vacheron heritage without sacrificing day-to-day functionality. Housed in 18K rose gold, it pairs a slate gray dial with a clean, highly legible layout that includes day and date indications alongside a power-reserve display. At the core is the self-winding Vacheron Constantin Caliber 2475 SC, built around traditional Geneva finishing and engineered to provide dependable, long-term ownership. The movement’s balance of practicality and finesse is central to why this reference remains a favorite for those who collect for both design and movement substance. The case thickness of 10.65 mm keeps the watch remarkably wearable for its caliber class, while the 39.5 mm diameter creates a commanding presence that still reads as classically proportioned. A 40-hour power reserve supports extended wear with fewer interruptions, aligning the watch well with modern daily rotation habits. With its alligator leather strap and restrained, high-end dial typography, this is a strong example of Vacheron’s ability to make complication watches feel discreet on-wrist. For serious buyers, the combination of a gray dial variant, rose gold case, and the specific 2475 SC configuration makes 85290/000R-B405 a particularly coherent collector choice within the Traditionnelle family. Excellent Condition with Vacheron Constantin box and papers dated 2018.
