④ 【Vacheron Constantin】 "Historiques Chronomètre Royal 1907" "Ref.86122/000P-9362"

This is a representative model of the Historiques collection, a modern re-issue of the masterpiece "Chronomètre Royal" released in 1907. It originated as a practical watch pursuing dust resistance and high precision, and this philosophy is strongly inherited in this model.

The movement is an in-house manual-winding Caliber 2460SCG, achieving high precision befitting the name Chronomètre.

Its greatest appeal is the presence of the enamel dial, which differs from typical white dials. It has a ceramic-like smoothness and a deep, transparent quality, showing a soft expression depending on the angle of light. This texture possesses a special beauty that cannot be found in other materials.

Despite its simple design, the dial has the power to draw attention, truly embodying the "charm of white." This recommended timepiece exudes a distinct sense of sophistication within its understated elegance, making it suitable for long-term enjoyment.
