Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle World Time

About this reference

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle World Time reference 86060 in 18k pink gold was introduced in 2011 and remained in production until approximately 2017. Collectors prioritize this reference for the in-house caliber 2460 WT, which features a patented mechanism allowing the simultaneous display of 37 time zones, including those offset by half or quarter hours. The 42.5mm case houses a three-part dial consisting of a sapphire disc for day-night indication, a metal disc with a Lambert projector map, and an external city ring. All functions, including time-setting and world-time adjustments, are operated solely through the crown. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $28,000 and $38,000 depending on condition and completeness. A notable production detail is the inclusion of Caracas on the city ring, which reflects the global time standards used during its initial manufacturing period.
