Watch Details
The reference 86073/000P-8972 Métiers d'Art The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Monkey was introduced in November 2015 in honour of the upcoming Chinese year of the Monkey in 2016. Reference 86073/000R-8971 is similar though in pink gold.
Vacheron Constantin is pursuing its dialogue with collectors and passionate devotees of Haute Horlogerie by enriching its Métiers d’Art La légende du zodiaque chinois series with the sign of the monkey. The latter will take over from that of the goat at the Chinese New Year on February 8th 2016. Bearing the Hallmark of Geneva, these two new creations, realised in twelve models each, combine the technical excellence of Caliber 2460 G4 with the beauty of artistic crafts.
China, a nation with which Vacheron Constantin has been cultivating special ties since 1845, first introduce the paper-cutting technique known as Jianzhi, a popular art echoed in Swiss culture through its famous Scherenschnitt paper-cutting. This artistic approach, highlighted in the Métiers d’Art La légende du zodiaque chinois, has been given a fresh interpretation thanks to the expertise of the master engravers and enamellers.
The foliage motif appearing on the dial and based on classic Chinese iconography is etched directly in the metal. The pattern remains semi-embedded and stands out from its gold base by a subtle stagesetting of variously accentuating reliefs creating a depth effect. This makes the vegetation appear to be floating over the dial. Then comes the stage of Grand Feu enamelling, a technique invented in Geneva and that remains the preserve of a very few particularly skilled artisans. By applying the enamel in successive layers, the enamel specialist enhances the intensity of the blue or bronze-toned dial. Achieving the necessary mastery of colour and of reactions to firing at temperatures between 800 and 900 degrees Celsius calls for an expertise that can only be acquired over long years of experience. The monkey, made of platinum or gold, is hand engraved and delicately applied to the dial centre.

Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art 86073/000P-8972 Reviews
I love this watch. I bought this as a gift but had to keep it. The face has an opally look with lots of bling. It's a big faced watch that's great for me because I have a hard time reading a watch without my reading glasses. Great quality leather band.

I received this
Vacheron Constantin watch and it is beautiful. I couldn't keep it because it had been broken and was literally tossed back into the box. Shame. I am trying to get a replacement, hoping it won't be broken
