I had the chance to try the Traditionelle in Platinum, Grey dial.

Superb 38 mm case.

Beautiful Caliber 4400 AS with the Geneva seal.

Sorry for the plastic, I didn’t want to rob the future owner of the pleasure to remove it…

The grey dial gives an edge to this super classic watch!

Best

Key Points from the Discussion

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle in platinum with a grey dial is considered a 'perfect' watch by some, with no desired changes to its design or movement, making it a top contender in the current regular production lineup.
The grey dial is noted for adding a modern 'edge' to the otherwise super-classic aesthetic of the Traditionelle, enhancing its appeal.
Despite its appeal, the author, Blomman Mr Blue, considers other watches like a Girard-Perregaux 1966 for a classic time-only piece, finding the Traditionelle's design more modern, though he praises its movement.
Several collectors express a strong desire to acquire this specific Traditionelle model, often weighing it against other high-end pieces like a Patek Philippe Worldtimer or Breguet 5177bb.
The author humorously attributes his lack of a Vacheron Constantin to a 'vintage monkey on my back,' suggesting a preference for vintage pieces has prevented him from acquiring modern VC wonders.

It is simply perfect!

Let me tell you a secret: I'm expecting an AP on Tuesday, will pick the next one from the Boutique on 16th January, order a Patek from their Salon for early spring delivery... And then, during the first half of 2015, Traditionelle's turn! I decided already some time ago that this one will be the third, hopefully last, watch of 2015. This Traditionelle, especially in platinum, is such a great watch that I am considering even that it could change the place with next Patek. Best, Kari
