Vacheron Constantin has unveiled two striking new references of the Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin ahead of its official 270th anniversary celebrations, reinforcing both its mastery of watchmaking complications and its flair for design. These new executions in pink gold with a golden-toned dial and white gold with a burgundy lacquer dial continue the legacy of one of the most celebrated perpetual calendar sports watches on the market. They demonstrate how a subtle shift in color and material can completely transform the personality of a timepiece without changing its core identity.
The Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin has long been admired for balancing sophistication with versatility, a rare combination in haute horlogerie. At just 8.1mm thick, the 41.5mm case houses the self-winding Manufacture Calibre 1120 QP/1, a perpetual calendar movement that remains one of the thinnest of its kind.
With a 22K gold rotor shaped like a compass rose and Geneva Seal finishing visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement is as much a visual feast as it is a technical marvel. It automatically accounts for the irregularities of the calendar and requires no adjustment until the year 2100.
The pink gold model embraces harmony and warmth with its sunburst satin-finished golden dial, complemented by a matching moonphase disc. A subtle blue minute track punctuates the otherwise tone-on-tone aesthetic, offering a touch of contrast that connects it to the broader Overseas family. For those seeking variety, the watch comes with an 18K pink gold bracelet and two interchangeable rubber straps in blue and white, each capable of shifting the watch’s character from formal to sporty with ease.
The white gold version makes a bolder statement with its deep burgundy lacquer dial and matching moonphase disc. White indexes and numerals provide clarity while burgundy and white rubber straps allow the wearer to lean into richness or contrast depending on the mood. The Maltese cross-inspired bracelet in white gold adds to its elegance while retaining the sporty credentials that have always defined the Overseas line.
Both models are powered by the same ultra-thin caliber that beats at 2.75 Hz and delivers a 40-hour power reserve, a reminder of the delicate balance between engineering constraints and refinement. With 276 components arranged in just 4.05mm of thickness, the movement represents the best of Vacheron Constantin’s miniaturization expertise.
These new additions are not limited editions and are now available through Vacheron Constantin boutiques. Priced at approximately $130,000, they represent the pinnacle of sporty haute horlogerie and set the tone for a milestone year in the history of one of Switzerland’s oldest watchmakers.
