Measuring 39.5mm in diameter and 10.65mm thick, the round case of this Traditionnelle is rendered entirely in 18K 5N pink gold — including the crown and Ardillon buckle — lending the piece a warm, cohesive tone throughout. A sapphire crystal transparent caseback allows a view of the movement within, while water resistance is rated to 3 bar.
The metal dial sits behind a case that distills the Traditionnelle's hallmark adherence to classical proportion, and the dark brown alligator Mississippiensis strap grounds the rose gold with an earthy contrast that suits both formal and refined casual settings.
Reference 85290/000R-9969 represents Vacheron Constantin's dedication to restrained elegance, combining traditional case architecture with carefully chosen materials across every detail, from the pink gold crown down to the matching buckle.
