Vacheron Constantin 88172/000R Traditionnelle 18K Rose Gold Silver Dial

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 88172/000R-C126 in 18K rose gold is a tour de force of Haute Horlogerie built around the in-house Calibre 2253, a manual-winding movement designed for collectors who value both display and engineering depth. With a silver dial providing crisp, classic contrast, the watch delivers unmistakable Vacheron restraint while still showcasing a truly exceptional complication set. This reference is centered on an impressive perpetual calendar architecture complemented by a tourbillon, positioning it within the maison’s modern grand complication tradition. The power reserve indication and astronomical style indications further elevate the dial into a functional work of art rather than a purely decorative arrangement. In rose gold, the case carries the warm, highly wearable character that many collectors prefer for daily-carry elegance, while the silver dial keeps legibility and visual balance front and center. At 44.00 mm and 15.71 mm thick, the presence is substantial but controlled, matching the caliber’s architectural complexity. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters, reinforcing the idea of the watch as a precision instrument for formal life rather than a sports tool. For serious buyers, the Calibre 2253 platform is especially compelling because it combines long-form complexity with Vacheron finishing standards that reward close inspection. Like New with Vacheron Constantin box, additional Vacheron Constantin strap and papers dated 2015. The MSRP of the watch was ~ $440,000 USD.
