Measuring 38 mm in diameter and just 7.77 mm thick, the Traditionnelle 82172/000P-B527 is built entirely in platinum 950 — case, crown, and ardillon buckle alike. The dial shares the same precious metal, finished with a grained texture, and is read through a sapphire crystal. A transparent sapphire case back opens a view to the hand-wound movement within.
The hand-wound mechanical movement displays hours, minutes, a small seconds subdial, and a power reserve indicator. A dark blue alligator Mississippiensis strap provides a vivid counterpoint to the cool tone of the platinum, secured by the matching platinum 950 ardillon buckle. Water resistance is rated to 3 bar (30 meters).
This Traditionnelle is offered as a complete set with its original box and papers. The 38 mm case size and manual winding reflect the enduring conventions of dress watchmaking, while the all-platinum construction underscores the exceptional nature of this reference from Vacheron Constantin.
