VACHERON CONSTANTIN TRADITIONNELLE TOURBILLONS REVEALED - SEPTEMBER 2025 NEWS
The Art of Defying Gravity
At the heart of haute horlogerie lies the tourbillon - a complication first created to overcome the pull of gravity, now revered as a symbol of ultimate watchmaking mastery. In Vacheron Constantin’s hands, it becomes something more: an endless dance of mechanics, light, and artistry that transforms the passing of time into pure theatre.
Today, we present three Traditionnelle Tourbillon models that embody this philosophy, each offering its own expression of elegance and innovation.
First up, Vacheron Constantin's diamond-set Traditionnelle Tourbillon Ref. 6035T/000R-B634 shines as a jewel of watchmaking.
Crafted in rose gold, its mother-of-pearl dial and more than 250 diamonds illuminate the Maltese-cross tourbillon at six o’clock, making precision as beautiful as it is rare. Retail Price: $313,000 AUD.
The Traditionnelle Tourbillon Ref. 6000T/000R-B346 speaks to the purist. Its rose-gold case, silver opaline dial and dauphine hands frame a restrained, timeless design.
Inside, the ultra-slim calibre 2160 with its peripheral rotor offers uninterrupted views of the movement - a technical feat matched only by its understated elegance. Retail Price: $273,000 AUD.
Finally, the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface 270th Anniversary Edition Ref. 6010T/000P-H055 stands as a tribute to history itself.
In platinum with a guilloché openface dial, retrograde date and anniversary-specific finishing, this limited edition is a true heirloom - capturing both the spirit of innovation and the legacy of 270 years of Vacheron Constantin. Retail Price: $337,000 AUD.
Each of these timepieces carries the hypnotic rhythm of the tourbillon, a complication that forever redefined what was possible in watchmaking. More than instruments of time, they are living symbols of artistry, precision, and the refusal to be bound by gravity itself.
We invite you to discover these extraordinary Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon models in person at J Farren-Price, where the art of fine watchmaking awaits.
