Vacheron Constantin Vacheron Constantin Ref. 81000 manual-winding guilloché small seconds | With box, fully serviced Ref.81000

: Since its establishment in 1755, Vacheron Constantin has been a cornerstone of Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship. The Malte Grande Classique 81000, with its round case, perfectly embodies the brand's relentless pursuit of "elegance and craftsmanship" throughout its long history. While the Malte series is traditionally known for its barrel-shaped cases, this piece reinterprets the classic with a rounded design.
The dial resembles a delicate work of art: silver guilloché waves radiate from the center, with intricate light and shadow shifting with the angle, each texture bearing the soul of handcrafted watchmaking, captivating the viewer. The white gold sword-shaped hands are polished to a mirror finish, understated yet powerful. The small seconds subdial at six o'clock is slightly recessed, creating a delicate contrast with its pure white background and polished second hand.
Inside, it houses the manual-winding Caliber 1400 movement, which can be admired through the sapphire case back—the bridges are adorned with Geneva stripes (Côtes de Genève), radiating outward like a fan, showcasing the beauty of craftsmanship as light and shadow play across the surface. Each screw and chamfer has been hand-polished to meet the stringent standards of the Geneva Seal. This seal not only guarantees quality but also pays homage to the spirit of traditional watchmaking. Thus, the process of manual winding becomes a ritual—a moment of dialogue with time.
The Ref.81000 shared today is in excellent overall condition, with the movement serviced by our workshop, functioning perfectly, keeping precise time, and comes with a one-year maintenance warranty from our workshop.
