In a captivating post, jp884 shares the culmination of a long-held desire, finally acquiring a Vacheron Constantin perpetual calendar that first caught their eye upon its press release. This article delves into jp884's personal journey with this exceptional timepiece, exploring the unique allure of skeletonized perpetual calendars despite their inherent complexities. Their experience offers valuable insights into the ownership of such a significant horological creation, especially for those considering a similar acquisition.

I have wanted this watch since I first saw its press release. Obviously getting anything during Covid was impossible, so naturally it got pushed aside and well I pursued other hobbies. I can’t say that I am a huge of perpetual calendar watches because it is difficult to read the date and month. But let’s be honest we really don’t buy perps for that reason. We buy them because they are gorgeous to look at. I had an AP perpetual skeleton RO back in the day when they could be had for around $45-50k and I regrettably sold it for around that price. But when this came out it blew my socks off and I am happy to add this to my little collection. Setting the watch is pain in the ass so I will most likely keep it on its winder.

I’m not usually a skeleton watch person, but this one is an exception for me. I was looking at one on EWC for a while but it sold. Congratulations, Jorge! It’s fantastic!

EWC does frequently get them in. Which I am always surprised as they don't make a lot of these.
