At SIHH 2019 (now renamed Watches & Wonders), Vacheron Constantin dropped white and rose gold variants of the Abroad Perpetual Calendar Extremely-thin in silver and blue dial, so these new items are additional line extensions. The brand new blue dial variant replaces rose gold with pink gold, which I personally desire since rose gold is simply not my factor, sometimes. The press images supplied by Vacheron give a good suggestion of what the ultimate product ought to appear to be, and I encourage you to take a look at our hands-on article with final yr’s rose gold variant to get a fair higher have a look at what to anticipate from dial and ending.

The all new Abroad Perpetual Calendar Extremely-Skinny Openworked hollows out and refinishes the 1120 QP/1 motion, leading to one thing new and really particular. Skeletonization is all the time hit and miss, with the success of the ultimate product hinging on the thoughtfulness of the completed product’s design. Oftentimes, manufacturers appear to be content material with a ultimate product that appears unfinished reasonably than openworked. That’s not what’s taking place right here (once more, simply judging from press pictures), which is made additional spectacular by the truth that we’re speaking about an ultra-thin perpetual calendar motion.

The skeletonization is hand-done with satin-brushing, beveling, sunburst, round brushing, graining, and sprucing finishes all through. You’ll additionally discover the skeletonized rotor on the caseback within the form of the model’s Maltese Cross emblem, which is definitely completed in a NAC-treated gold that leads to a brooding anthracite gray.
