It was available in a wide range of configurations, including a striking skeletonized version known as reference 43032, with variations in yellow gold and platinum cases, dial layouts, and bracelet options. The present timepiece is truly unique, elevated by its magnificent dial made of brilliant-cut diamonds, as well as lapis lazuli for its moon phase complication.
These timepieces are now regarded as a significant turning point in Vacheron Constantin's history, having been instrumental in leading the company through the fallout from the Quartz crisis and reviving interest in high complications. A new generation of modern designs was made possible by the model's eventual discontinuation around 2006.
