Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Tribute to great civilisations - Grand sphinx de Tanis

Vacheron Constantin's Métiers d'Art Tribute to great civilisations - Grand sphinx de Tanis, reference 7620A/000R-B927, measures 42 mm in rose gold. The case stands 12.93 mm thick and carries the self-winding calibre 2460 G4/2, certified with the Hallmark of Geneva. A sapphire crystal covers the blue dial, which is hand-engraved with a gold applique depicting the Sphinx of Tanis and finished with champlevé enamel. The movement drives jumping hour, weekday and date displays through apertures rather than hands. A sapphire caseback lets the finishing show through. The dial sits on an alligator leather strap. Water resistance is rated to 30 metres, modest for a piece built around decoration rather than sport.
