The date in this articular model is so small that it can easily be overlooked so that it does not disturb the dial face, if you want it not to.
I guess VC tried here, successfully, to make the balancing act between leaving the date away, as in historic models, and offering a date function to modern a audience.
The movement of this articular model can be a point about to argue but not really: it is juuust right to be a VC engine.
The overall aesthetics is very VC like and has got a good mix of gothic darkness and grace that is typical for a VC.
The quality is still very good, with white gold markers and hands, 18 k golden rotor (unlike an in-famous, pun intended here!, Lange movement with a gold plated (!!!) rotor).
My only criticism is the size: 37 mm, or let it be 38 mm would have been more coherent with the historic models but that again it would probably fail with a younger clientele.
My pick: the day date with pointers and a pr indicator.
Thank you for the post.
Best
