A jewel: Vacheron Constantin Perpetual Calendar Skeleton platinum.

36 mm of pure refinement. The case, the bezel, the lugs, and the skeleton dial!!! 


I will post more pictures of it as soon as I can, but for the moment, here are two first pictures: 





Not mine, alas, but  this one could well be in my collection, one day... 

Best,

Nicolas

These skeletons are haunting

All good for me as it is. [nt]

Yes, less is more, on pieces like this one. [nt]

This is the right way to skeletonize a dial...

...the sub-dials are all quite readable. Quibbles: maybe blue the hour and minute hands for contrast (I personally would do them in yellow gold)...and VC's leap year solution is not ideal...

I understand that VC has done this in the past...

...that doesn't mean it's the best way to do it. PP handles this quite well IMHO...look at the 3940 for reference.

I actually quite like the leap year as it is

OK readability is not top but seeing a small hand turning in 4 years must be quite a philosophical experience

As perfect as they get

This could be the definite anti Apple Watch. An unusual, utterly useless statement of class end elegance. What we lack in this world... HAGWE! Daniel

Beautiful PC!

Looks like it's in great shape as well assuming it's an older model!
