Mike H reviews his Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle LE (2 rue de la Paix) in pink gold, highlighting its stunning hand-guilloché dial and exquisite finish.

Key Points from the Discussion

The longer hour markers on this limited edition Traditionnelle are considered more balanced and proportionate to the dial size compared to standard versions, a design choice some wish Vacheron Constantin would adopt universally.
The unique guilloché pattern on the dial, exclusive to the 2 rue de la Paix Edition, is highly praised for its captivating design and the exceptional craftsmanship of its artisan, Supachaï.
The watch's beauty is so distracting that it's hard to concentrate on anything else, highlighting its visual impact.
The author enjoys pairing his watches with fountain pens, seeing them as complementary luxury items, a sentiment shared by other collectors.
The pleasure of admiring such a piece in person, in 'metal,' surpasses even the most detailed photographs.
The author's approach to watch wearing involves matching timepieces to attire, activity, and season, suggesting a thoughtful integration of watches into lifestyle.

Thanks Nico, the dial also but not only

The case (shape and size), the caliber, the hands... for me it is a simple but wondeful dress watch, I just love it. See you soon, Mike

Not a complicated watch but simply so classy.

The more you look into the details, the more you appreciate it. Thanks for your kind words Tony !

It's a lovely watch

Apart from that beautiful guilloche dial, the other difference from the standard version of the watch is the longer hour markers. I find these much more balanced and in proportion to the size of the dial; I don't understand why VC don't make them standard on all versions.

I was concentrated on the guilloché and never looked at the hour markers...

...but yes you are totally right. I actually never put them side by side in real or in picture to compare as I never do duels ; in most of the cases, there is a winner and... a loser when there is a duel and this is not my spirit. But I must say that I agree with you that I find the size of the hour markers more balanced on the LE 2P version. Thanks for the input. Mike
