Vacheron Constantin released its Reference 57260 watch in 2015 to mark the brand’s 260th anniversary. The model, with 57 complications, 2,826 parts, and 31 hands, and which took eight years to assemble, is touted as the most complicated timepiece in the world.
The Swiss luxury watchmaker has now unveiled a single, unique timepiece based on Reference 57260: Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon.
The price of the watch is upon request, but Les Cabinotiers watches—made by the one-of-a-kind timepiece department at Vacheron Constantin, a subsidiary of the Swiss Richemont Group since 1996—typically begin in the six figures.
In 2017, Vacheron Constantin released two one-of-a-kind timepieces, Les Cabinotiers Symphonia Grande Sonnerie 1860, and the twin-dial Celestia Astronomical Grand Complication 3600, both of which were marketed for about $1 million.
One-of-a-kind timepieces are also sought-after on the secondary market. In November, Patek Philippe’s Ref. 6300A-010 Grandmaster Chime in stainless steel fetched CHF31 million (US$31.2 million) at Christie’s “Only Watch” charity auction in Geneva, making it the most expensive watch ever sold.
Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon reinterprets two complications presented with Reference 57260: namely, the bi-axial armillary tourbillon with spherical balance-spring, and the instant retrograde display of the time indications.
This watch, with 299 components and 45 jewels, is housed in a titanium case, an ultra-light material that reveals a contemporary, sleek style, and is twice as resistant as steel. “Pièce unique” and “Les Cabinotiers” are engraved on the transparent sapphire crystal caseback.
The watch measures 45mm in diameter, and power reserve lasts approximately 65 hours. It’s paired with a black alligator leather strap secured by pin buckle.
