This year marks the 270th anniversary of Vacheron Constantin. As a time-honored brand in the watchmaking industry, this milestone naturally needs to be celebrated with great fanfare! Among them, the limited editions of the junior and junior pins are eye-catching. Not only are they stunningly beautiful, they are also relatively affordable. I want to know what’s so special about these two watches and why do experienced players flock to them? Come and take a look!

Vacheron Constantin 270th Anniversary Edition

This year marks the 270th anniversary of Vacheron Constantin (1755-2025). To celebrate this important moment, the world’s top watchmaking brand has launched a variety of 270th anniversary limited edition watches. The most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the big three seconds and small seconds of the heritage series. Both watches have been upgraded on the original basis. The third hand adopts a new guilloché dial, which not only enhances the artistic content of this popular watch, but also brings excellent visual effects. The small three-pin is loved by experienced players because of its simple design, and the market response is good.

The heritage series three-hand 85180 is equipped with Vacheron Constantin’s self-produced 2450/2460 automatic movement. This movement is different in decoration and uses “côte unique” sunburst decoration. The small three-pin 82172 is equipped with a 4400 manual winding movement. The movement size is 28.6 mm and the thickness is 7.77 mm. This size combination has an excellent visual effect.

It is worth mentioning that the public price of the heritage series of big three-needle is 289,000 yuan, while the small three-needle 82172 starts at 218,000 yuan. Although the price is not cheap, for such a brand with a heritage of nearly 300 years, this price is still very sincere. Especially the big three-hand watch, it uses a rose gold or platinum case, while the small three-hand 82172 offers two case materials of rose gold and platinum to choose from.

High cost performance

Among the many anniversary watches launched this year, Vacheron Constantin’s price/performance ratio is relatively high, especially compared with other top brands. Take the 270th anniversary commemorative model launched this year as an example. The public price of the three-hand model is 289,000 yuan, while the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak style watch, which is also equipped with a tourbillon perpetual calendar function, starts at 388,000 yuan. In this way, Audemars Piguet is nearly 100,000 yuan more expensive, and the same model from Patek Philippe is 498,000 yuan. For ordinary consumers, such prices are almost astronomical.

Of course, as a luxury product, the price of a watch is not the only reference factor for consumers to purchase. Many watch fans pay more attention to the brand history, cultural connotation and artistic value. Although Vacheron Constantin was founded 20 years later than Patek Philippe, its influence and status in the watchmaking industry are no less than that of the latter. In the eyes of these old players, the two are almost equal. Moreover, the 270th anniversary commemorative model launched this time has new breakthroughs in movement and craftsmanship. Of course, old players are more willing to pay for it.

Conclusion

Vacheron Constantin’s 270th anniversary commemorative model is really eye-catching, especially in terms of cost performance. Compared with other big brands, it is simply a reasonable price! When buying a watch, you don’t just look at the price, the history and cultural connotation of the brand are also very important. Do you think this watch is worth buying?
