Vacheron Constantin Chronometre Royal Rose Gold .
Some pictures of a watch which I would dream to see with a manual winding movement.
Make it in platinum ( which exists ) but with a manual winding movement, midnight blue numerals and a manual winding movement and I would have jumped on it!
Best,

Sublime photos 👏
I admired this watch for a bit when it was available. But the 🛸 price was always a mistery to me. Design a bit too grandfather-like perhaps this is why it quietly exited the catalogue, I think the corne de vache is much nicer (and somehow more timeless).
I do agree....
with what you described here regarding all of the material and finishing details. That is exactly what this watch needs in order to not look as 'grandfatherly' as it otherwise does.... 
I agree that platinum with blue numerals and manual wind would have been superb. What is the case size?
One distinction
it is one of only two modern-era VC to display the ampersand ;-) It was an interesting piece when launched, taking the CR family to a conservative appearance after decades of sporty designs aka Phidias, 2215, and even 47022. When, not if, they decide to revive the Chronometre Royal line, I'm hoping for a new, technically advanced movement now that the current engine has trickled down to the FiftySix line.
You're right, of course. I just found it 'uncomfortable' on this Chronometre Royal. An eccentric reaction, no doubt. (The image of the Auricoste is here in error!)
Wow. Super special chronometer royal, especially the limited red 12. And yes, manual winding would be excellent.
