This Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is very beautiful...
but I prefer the previous PT versions: with light grey or anthracite dials.
However, it is quite large at 43 mm, clearly too big for me (this is the later version with matching day/month/leap year disc):
I can't really pick a winner looking at case/dial/movement individually.
My favourite dial among these belongs to the 500T-000P, but the watch is just too big for me.
I much prefer the old (round) Malte case with their signature stepped lugs, but the coin edge and non-screwed case back of the Traditionelle case is quite stunning too.
However, on the whole, the 47112 and 47212 sit better on my wrist.
These are all very compelling options, today you can get all three for a lot less than a 5970P 😊

A comparative view on the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Platinum Salmon Dial, 2022.
Let's come back to a watch I furtively saw at Watches and Wonders, last year, as this year I saw nothing which piqued my interest, from Vacheron Constantin: The Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Chronograph in platinum. A few days before seeing it in real...
I cannot get excited about any of these...
...they seem 'cold' to me for want of a better word. And a small movement is a no-go...
Thank you for the very instructive post
These watches have many positive features. But they have flaws also. 47212 and Traditionnelle are too big for the movement. And the problem is that it is obvious dial side. On the 47112 it is impossible to read the chrono between 27 and 33, and that seems...
Thank you for this very interesting post.
Among the Malte, my favorite is, without hesitation, the 47112: I love the triangular markers and also the Roman XII. And the hunter case back, of course. For me, the 47212 looses some of the attractive character of the 47112 design. And my favorite versi...
These two variants might appeal even more to you
Platinum/salmon dial Rose gold/black dial ...
I owned the 47112 and not long ago played with the latest.
Between the two my favorite remained the 47112 due to the proportions of the displays which on the later are disproportionately small compared to the dial and case size. Also worth mentioning that the in the metal the current models date is virtually non ...
Yes, in complete agreement!
So much going for it, great proportions, superb case and fantastic movement, one of my few regrets in watches.
47112 would be my choice
The dial better balanced and the case is a delight with those lugs and hunter back. I came close to buying one but was worried buying such a complicated used piece in case it needed a large repair. Ended up with als annual instead 🤷
Perfect timing
I was just looking at one of these VCs VS the 3940 from Patek ha. Thanks for the post
I Saw the Salmon Dial in person and love it.
I had no problem with the size but I can understand why people might. To me it was close to perfect. Fantastic weight, amzing dial and functionality. Just incredible.
Really enjoyed the post, mon ami.
Love the moon phases on these, and would happily add the burger if I could!
Why they didn’t do there signature lugs on this watch . And a hunter case back would be awesome too . 43 is also on the bigger side.
Overal A good looking watch if only there wasn’t any other models to compare with in the family
