Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'Île

About this reference

Vacheron Constantin released the Tour de l’Île reference 80250/000R-9145 in 2005 to commemorate the manufacture’s 250th anniversary. Production was limited to seven numbered pieces in 18k pink gold, plus one unique piece for the Vacheron Constantin museum. The double-faced 47mm case houses the manual-wind caliber 2750, which comprises 834 components and provides 16 complications, including a minute repeater, tourbillon, perpetual calendar, equation of time, and a celestial chart. Collectors value this reference as one of the most complex wristwatches ever produced, representing a peak in the brand’s technical history. Due to its extreme rarity and high complication count, the secondary market value typically resides in the mid-seven-figure range. A notable auction result occurred in 2005 at Antiquorum, where the first piece in the series sold for approximately 1.8 million USD, setting a record for a contemporary wristwatch at that time.
