Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Grey Dial

Key Points from the Discussion

• Vacheron Constantin no longer offers the Atelier des Cabinotiers service for customizing existing models like the Overseas or Traditionnelle; customization is now limited to classic case designs from a specific catalogue.
• The Cadraniers de Genève, previously responsible for Vacheron Constantin's custom dials, was sold to F.P. Journe, impacting the brand's customization capabilities.
• There is conflicting information regarding the availability of customization for current Vacheron Constantin models, with some members being told it's still possible for certain pieces, including the 3rd generation Overseas.
• The discontinuation of broad customization options is seen as a 'huge pity' by collectors, as Vacheron Constantin was one of the few major brands offering such bespoke services.
• The grey dial of the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle is highly praised, with many collectors believing VC excels at producing grey dials.
