Considering that the OVERSEAS is a popular model of Vacheron Constantin, then the Metiers D'Art and Les Cabinotiers series are the forever masterpieces of Vacheron Constantin. The Metiers D'Art represents the pinnacle of decorative arts, while Les Cabinotiers represents the ceiling of mechanical functionality.
The dial of this watch, created by the renowned enamel master M. Sechaud, features the technique of Champlevé enamel. The inspiration for the design comes from traditional art patterns of the Ottoman Empire. The royal blue enamel is meticulously filled within the gold wire contours, contrasting with the white enamel dial, instantly transporting the viewer back to the Islamic Empire of the 13th century. Each pattern is naturally colored, neatly arranged, and perfectly executed at high temperatures, showcasing the brilliance of top-level enamel art. The hands are made of 18k gold, and the time scale is filled with gold enamel.
The movement is equipped with Vacheron Constantin's in-house automatic caliber 1120/2, with 36 jewels, a power reserve of 40 hours, and a 21k gold skeletonized oscillating weight. The case back features a hunter-style cover, which, when opened, reveals the complete movement through the transparent sapphire glass.
This Metiers D'Art 43060/2 is limited to a total of 10 pieces. This particular piece is in perfect condition, with almost no signs of wear. The blue protective sticker is still intact on the case back. It comes with the original strap, buckle, watch box, leather pouch, and certificate.
