One of the most striking ones in this collection is -arguably- the Les Cabinotiers Grisaille High Jewellery – Dragon, which pays homage to China, a country whose trade with Vacheron Constantin dates back to 1845. On the dial of this watch featuring a five-clawed imperial dragon and its pearl, Vacheron Constantin’s master artisan has created a motif in green grisaille enamel, a first for the Manufacture; another first being the gemsetting of a model with a grisaille enamel dial.
Meanwhile, the case of this timepiece has been entirely set with 146 baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel, middle, and lugs, while a brilliant-cut diamond adorns the crown. This Hallmark of Geneva-certified watch is powered by self-winding Calibre 1120, a legendary movement distinguished by its extreme 2.45mm thinness and its aesthetically pleasing construction. Housed in a white gold case measuring 40mm in diameter and 8.9mm thick, paired with a dark green alligator leather strap secured by a gemset white gold pin buckle, this timepiece is an absolute must-have.
