Review Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar

Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar is the latest in a line of watches that have made their mark on their respective eras. In 1992, Vacheron Constantin presented reference 30020, an exceptional creation combining an hours, quarters and minutes repeating mechanism with a perpetual calendar here.

The 42 mm-diameter case in white or pink gold features extremely pure lines. Only the minute repeater slide on the left-hand side of the case expresses the complexity of this model. The day, date and month indications, appearing in the upper part of the dial, are displayed in an extremely legible manner, and thereby leave plenty of space for the gold Moon to pursue its poetic dance amid the stars, against a beautifully understated backdrop.

Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar is equipped with a revisited movement: Calibre 1731 QP, combining minute repeater and perpetual calendar functions. No less than 438 components, some of them no thicker than a hair’s breadth, compose this sophisticated horological ‘alchemy’ within a mechanical manual-winding movement.
