   The biggest highlight of this watch, in addition to being slim, its perpetual calendar function can automatically identify 31, 30 and 28 days of the month, extrapolating the leap year cycle and the special situation of February 29 that occurs once every four years. This complication features a stunning micro-mechanical mechanism to ensure it performs automatic mechanical corrections based on calendar changes. Therefore, the wearer does not need to manually adjust the perpetual calendar function until March 1, 2100.

Slim and beautiful

Watch display
   It can be seen that although the watch is extremely thin, it has not diminished its due beauty. In order to make the watch fit the slim theme, the traditional watch usually tends to flatten the design of the time-marking part, which lacks fullness and three-dimensionality. However, this watch uses K gold three-dimensional hour scale and three-dimensional ‘bead’ minute scale, making the watch’s dial more ornamental.

Watch case and lug display
   Unlike gold, which is as luxurious and flattering, pink and rose gold materials always exude a mild, low-luxury luster, showing a different beauty between the wrists. The case of this watch is composed of 18K 5N pink gold, which is soft and delicate after polishing, showing the unique characteristics of the material itself, which is very beautiful.

Slim from excellent core

Watch movement display
   As we all know, the thinness of a watch is determined by the thickness of the movement. Developed by Vacheron Constantin watchmakers, the 1120 QP automatic movement raises the watch’s slimness to a new level. Although it is equipped with an accurate and complex perpetual calendar indicator system, the thickness of its movement is only 4.05 mm, making it a slimmer watch. The design laid the foundation. The hollowed-out rotor makes the watch movement more ornamental. In particular, the center of the rotor is the icon of Vacheron Constantin’s ‘Maltese Cross’ logo, adding a unique connotation and charm to the watch.

The large checkered ornament on the strap is more attractive. The entire watch looks mature, low-key, luxurious and profound. The style is more business-oriented. With its thin, elegant appearance and extraordinary inner core, it has won praise from viewers at the exhibition, and it is also a classic timepiece of this year.
