This one is pure hardcore horological eye candy – it's a red enamel version of Vacheron's Métiers d'Art Méchaniques Ajourées watches, which combine an openworked VC caliber 4400 SQ with an outer enameled chapter ring. There is really not all that much to say about this because it's one of those picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words watches. If you don't like supremely elegant, extra flat, hand-openworked movements that look like they could have been picked up off some Continental dandy's dressing table circa 1928 and which make absolutely no bones about their old-fashioned elegance, this is not the watch for you; if, on the other hand, this is your brand of vodka, this is about as good as it gets. Very much not just the thing to pair with jeans and a polo shirt (or hell, why not). Estimate is $74,300 to $84,900.
