- Vacheron Constantin’s Malte collection is reserved for the brand’s most prestigious watches characterised by excellent craftsmanship and technical expertise. The present reference 47212 was exclusively released in late 2007 as part of a limited edition of only 50 pieces under the “Collection Excellence Platine”, and it is engraved number 12 on the case back.
- Encased in an Art Deco style platinum stepped case with large flared stepped lugs, reminiscent of historical Vacheron Constantin watches from the 1950s like the reference 4717, the timepiece wears comfortably and exerts a hefty feel on the wrist.
- The intricate sandblasted platinum dial of the watch seamlessly matches the elegant platinum case, with the harmonious composition of white gold baton hour markers and hands hands on top, echoing the gorgeous monochromatic hand-engraved moon phases indication at the 6 o’clock.
- Delivered with a Vacheron Constantin Certificate of Authenticity confirming the production of the present watch in 2008, the present specimen is a gem that should not be missed by the discerning collector.
