The collection remained in production until 2009, and has become highly sought after in the world of horology.
In 2006, Vacheron Constantin introduced the special “Malte Chronograph Collection Excellence Platine”, which was a limited edition run of just 75 examples cased in platinum. This exclusive series was fitted with a sandblasted platinum dial, an exclusive feature underscored by the ‘PT950’ mark on the dial. The watch sports a classic chronograph design with an outer telemeter scale, applied white gold markers, blued-steel accents, and polished white gold sword hands. Its robust, 41.5mm case features fan-shaped lugs, echoing the Maltese cross that is the symbol of Vacheron, and a sapphire crystal caseback for collectors to admire the high-grade, manual-wind caliber 1141.
The present example is number 30 of this series and is preserved in excellent overall condition. This watch comes with the complete package including the original certificate, presentation box, leather wallet, instruction manual and service booklet, as well as the Vacheron Constantin Certificate of Authenticity confirming the timepiece from 2006. With this exceptional rarity and large case size, this piece will make the perfect addition for any discerning Vacheron Constantin collector.
