Crafted entirely in 18K 5N pink gold — case, bezel, crown, and ardillon buckle alike — this 39mm round Traditionnelle carries a refined presence on the wrist. At 8.82mm thick, the profile remains elegant, while the skeletonized metal dial opens a window into the movement beneath, offering a compelling interplay of form and mechanics.
A transparent sapphire caseback continues the visual dialogue, allowing an unobstructed view from both sides of the watch. Water resistance is rated to 3 bar, suited to everyday wear. The case dimensions and proportions are consistent with Vacheron Constantin's classical Traditionnelle sensibility.
The watch is fitted on a dark brown alligator Mississippiensis strap, secured by an 18K 5N pink gold ardillon buckle. Reference 43172/000R-9241 carries the moon phase complication alongside the skeleton display, making it a technically engaging expression of the Traditionnelle collection.
