Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art The legend of the Chinese zodiac - year of the snake

Vacheron Constantin's Métiers d'Art The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac - Year of the Snake, reference 86073/000P-H033, comes in a 40 mm platinum case. The case measures 12.72 mm thick. A sapphire crystal covers the gold dial, which carries an opaque miniature enamel background and a hand-engraved gold applique of a snake over a rocky base. The self-winding calibre 2460 G4/3 drives the watch, showing date and weekday alongside central seconds, and carries the Hallmark of Geneva. The sapphire caseback leaves the movement visible, and this piece is issued as a limited edition. A dark blue alligator leather strap closes with a folding clasp in platinum. Water resistance stays modest at 30 metres.
