Hey, welcome back to Taking Time. I'm Jonathan, and
I've got something here from one of my favorite brands that puts the other two
non-favorite brands to shame. Stick around. We're gonna talk about it.
Hey guys. So you probably know by now that Vacheron Constantin is one of my favorite brands
and one that I aspire to own, you know, especially from the Overseas line. And I've got something
here that is actually extremely special and very hard to come by in the watch world. It's a very
particular predicament. So essentially what this is, is a perpetual calendar with a moonphase
chronograph all wrapped up in a sports watch case with 150 meters of water resistance.
Think about that for a second. And it's rose gold. I mean that you just don't,
you don't come across that at all, anywhere in the watch world, because perpetual calendars are
considered a high complication. It takes a very skilled watchmaker to actually, you know, make
that and add to that a chronograph movement, which alone usually has roughly about 250 parts in it.
You put those together in a sports watch case that has 150 meters of water resistance.
It's just, I mean, something that James Bond would wear if he wasn't trying to
save the world every single day. But anyways, this is the Vacheron Constantin Overseas
with the obvious, you know, perpetual calendar chronograph in a rose gold case, it comes on this
very nice supple rubber strap. I believe it's only 42 millimeters wide and it's roughly about
14 millimeters high. So this thing is just an absolute phenomenon and it comes on this like,
dial that you just don't see anywhere. It's this kind of like brown, tan, kind of silver color.
The moonphase is very well done and it's got lume on all the indices and all the hands. So whenever
you're, you know, wearing this watch every single day, you can actually see it at night.
But what I was hitting at as far as the other two brands that I'm not really that big of a fan of
is this watch came out way before AP way before Patek were putting out perpetual calendars in
their sports watches. So I believe the Royal Oak came out with a perpetual calendar around like
2015. Patek stirred up the world with their Nautilus perpetual calendar
exclusively only in white gold, I think in like 2018. And it goes for an obscene amount of money.
This came out in 2011 and it's the second generation of the Overseas case. So, I mean,
they are just putting the other two to shame. And at that the Vacheron overseas is probably
one of the biggest value props that you can buy for high horology. And as you can see here,
we've got it with the box and I believe the papers come with it and it comes with an
extra crocodile strap. And it has this, I can't really take it out, but it has this really cool,
integrated watch winder? So, yeah. We've got it right now and it's on SwissWatchExpo.com. So
you need to go there before I take out a second mortgage and buy this thing. So give me a call,
do the usual, like subscribe, you know, and we'll see you around.
