Vacheron Constantin Chronograph Skeleton Reference 47100

Partially verified

The Vacheron Constantin Chronograph Skeleton reference 47100 is a manual-winding wristwatch produced in 1994. The watch features a platinum case measuring 38 mm in diameter, characterized by rounded edges and soldered lugs. The timepiece is powered by the Vacheron Constantin 2310 base ébauche, a manual-winding chronograph movement that has been skeletonized. The dial displays the mechanical structure of the gear train and chronograph levers, featuring a geometric and fractal layout. Production for this reference is reported as limited to fewer than 100 examples across both platinum and yellow gold versions, with platinum noted as the rarer variant. The watch is worn on a strap and functions as a chronograph.

Object description

Case and Aesthetic Construction

The watch is housed in a 38 mm platinum case, notable for its rounded design and the inclusion of soldered lugs. This construction is paired with two classical chronograph pushers located on the right side of the case band.

The dial is fully skeletonized, presenting an openwork structure that exposes the movement's geometric and fractal components. This transparency allows for a direct view of the moving parts, gear train, and chronograph levers from both the front and through the exhibition case back.

Evidence for this section
  • “بدنه این مدل از پلاتین ساخته شده و قطری معادل ۳۸ میلی‌متر دارد. قاب دارای طراحی گرد و لبه‌های نرم به همراه پایه‌های بند لحیم‌شده (soldered lugs) است”
  • “صفحه ساعت ماهیتی کاملاً باز و اسکلتون (openwork) دارد که ساختار هندسی و فرکتالی قطعات فلزی را به نمایش می‌گذارد”

Movement and Mechanism

The movement is based on the 2310 base ébauche, a manually wound caliber identified by the manufacturer as a foundational component for the chronograph. The mechanism has been extensively modified through skeletonization, involving the removal of material to create a transparent, architectural display of the internal timekeeping and timing operations.

Attention is directed toward the decorative finish applied to the movement. Every bridge and technical part has undergone meticulous hand-engraving, combining mechanical complexity with decorative arts.

Evidence for this section
  • “بر پایه کالیبر پایه مشهور 2310 طراحی شده و با پرداخت‌ها و حکاکی‌های بسیار دقیق و چشم‌نواز روی تمامی پل‌ها و اجزای فنی شکل گرفته است”
  • “حکاکی‌های ظریف دستی در سرتاسر موومان، تلفیقی از مهارت مکانیکی و هنرهای دستی تزیینی را به نمایش می‌گذارد”
