2024 Vacheron Constantin Overseas with New Green Dials
Green is quickly becoming a staple color across all luxury watch brand catalogs, occupying a space next to go-to shades like blue, black, silver, and champagne. Vacheron Constantin is apparently not immune to the green watch trend; for 2024, the brand has unveiled a slate of new pink gold Overseas models, all furnished with green-lacquered, sunburst satin-finished dials.
The first of the four is the Overseas Self-Winding ref. 4605V/200R-B969 with a 35mm case and a diamond-set bezel. Next in line is the Overseas Self-Winding Ref. 4520V/210R-B967 with a 41mm case, powered by the automatic Caliber 5100. Vacheron also released the Overseas Dual Time ref. 7920V/210R-B965, also featuring a 41mm pink case. And finally, there’s the Overseas Chronograph ref. 5520V/210R-B966 with a 42.5mm case and tri-compax dial.

2024 Vacheron Constantin Titanium Overseas Tourbillon
In 2022, Vacheron Constantin unveiled a titanium Overseas Tourbillon watch with a skeletonized dial— the first in the collection made (almost) entirely of titanium. At Watches & Wonders 2024, the brand expands on this idea with a full titanium Overseas Tourbillon watch but this time, sporting a beautiful blue dial.
Titanium’s properties, which include being 30% stronger than steel but only half its weight, make it an ideal metal for a sports watch. I wouldn’t be surprised if Vacheron continues to add more titanium models to the Overseas collection in the future, including a non-complicated time and date model.
As always, the integrated titanium bracelet of the latest titanium Overseas Tourbillon can be switched out with the additional blue calfskin and blue rubber straps that accompany the set.

2024 Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers – The Berkley Grand Complication
Boasting 63 horological complications and 2,877 components, the Vacheron Constantin Berkley Grand Complication smashes the watchmaker’s own record of the most complicated timepiece in the world (previously held by the Vacheron Constantin Reference 57260).
The Berkley Grand Complication is the world’s first Chinese perpetual calendar; the Chinese lunisolar calendar is replete with irregularities and complexities, all of which Vacheron had to take into consideration when developing the timepiece. It took the company 11 years to develop the Berkley Grand Complication, including one whole year just for assembly.
The watch is named after the man who commissioned the watch, William R. Berkley, the billionaire founder and current chairman of W. R. Berkley Corporation. He’s also the owner of the Vacheron Constantin ref. 57260, now the world’s second most complicated timepiece.
The 63 complications of Berkley Grand Complication are divided into the following categories:
- Time measurement and regulation: 9 complications
- Gregorian perpetual calendar: 7 complications
- Chinese perpetual calendar: 11 complications
- Chinese agricultural perpetual calendar: 2 complications
- Astronomical indications: 9 complications
- Split-seconds chronograph: 4 complications
- Alarm functions: 7 complications
- Grande Sonnerie: 8 complications
- Additional functions: 6 complications
There’s even a window to display the current Chinese Zodiac year (such as the Year of the Dragon). The timepiece itself, which includes two dials, is crafted in white gold and measures a gargantuan 98mm in diameter and 50.55mm thick — it weighs a hefty 980 grams!

2024 Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Manual-Winding and Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date
The Patrimony, which is Vacheron Constantin’s elegant dress watch collection, celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2024. Unsurprisingly, the brand has come out with a few models to honor the occasion.
Vacheron released three new Patrimony models at Watches & Wonders 2024, two 39mm manual-winding time-only watches, and one moonphase with a retrograde date.
The 2024 Patrimony Manual Winding 39mm is available in either white gold with an olive-green strap or in pink gold with a light blue leather strap. Both versions feature a vintage-inspired dial color that Vacheron calls “old-silver-toned.”
On the other hand, the 2024 Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date features a 42.5mm white gold case, paired with the same “old-silver toned” dial and olive green strap. Like previous versions of the Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date, the 20th anniversary model includes a moon phase indicator at 6 o’clock and retrograde date display arching at the top of the dial.

2024 Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph Collection Excellence Platine
Limited to just 50 pieces, the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph Collection Excellence Platine watch that Vacheron Constantin launched at Watches & Wonders was clearly designed with serious collectors in mind.
While this isn’t the first Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph by Vacheron Constantin, (that honor goes to the pink gold version unveiled in 2020) it is the first made in platinum. As a result, its 42.5mm platinum case (and platinum dial, crown, and clasp) gains the watch an entry into the Collection Excellence Platin, the company’s line of limited edition platinum timepieces that debuted in 2006.
The tourbillon is placed at 12 o’clock, which is not traditionally where we see the whirling mechanism while the duo of counters for the chronograph take their positions at 3 and 6 o’clock. The back of the watch offers a view of the stunning Caliber 3200 manual-winding movement that powers the piece, complete with the Geneva Hallmark.

2024 Vacheron Constantin Grand Lady Kalla
At W&W 2024, Vacheron Constantin presented a lavish take on the jewelry watch: a convertible piece that can be worn as a bejeweled wristwatch or as a pendant watch on a long necklace.
It’s called the Grand Lady Kalla and the watch case can be switched out with a diamond-set jewel element via an interchangeable system. As such, the wearer can decide whether to place the watch case into the diamond-set bracelet or the pearl, diamond, and onyx sautoir necklace.
The entire set boasts 268 diamonds for a total of 46.65 carats, including a GIA-certified center emerald diamond that’s over 2 carats.

Vacheron Constantin 2024 Watches and Wonders Releases
That covers all the Vacheron Constantin 2024 Watches and Wonders releases, which include a mix of sport, dress, jewelry, and complicated watches. Broadly speaking, Vacheron Constantin stuck to releasing existing models in either different metals or fresh colorways. Aside from the Grand Lady Kalla which caters to a very specific audience and the Berkley Grand Complication which Mr. Berkley commissioned, there isn’t anything completely new from Vacheron Constantin at Watches & Wonders 2024.
“Vacheron jumped on the green bandwagon a minute too late with the new Overseas models. The rest of the releases, in my opinion, are just more of the same. The exception is the Grand Lady Kalla, which is magnificent jewelry that can also tell the time — a superb two-for-one piece!”
Roman Sharf, CEO and Founder of Luxury Bazaar
Focusing on line extensions seems to be the ongoing theme for most brands at this year’s biggest watch show; I suppose everyone is trying to play it safe(r) during a somewhat tumultuous time in the industry.
