Maltese cross stamped into the crown, caseback, and clasp signals one of the holy trinity’s boldest everyday icons. Silver sunburst dial throws light like fresh snow under a Geneva sky, shifting from bright to near-mirror as the wrist turns. Collectors who want Vacheron Constantin presence without the black-tie formality will find a jet-set companion here, equally at home with a tuxedo or a tee.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Silver-toned sunburst center fans out beneath a velvet-finished flange, with applied white-gold markers that catch light like polished chrome. Six-sided, Maltese-inspired bezel alternates mirror-polish and satin brushing, its finishing transitions crisp enough to earn the Hallmark of Geneva. Hands and markers burn a cool teal once the lights drop, turning a dress-sport piece into a bedside companion.

Functions include hours, minutes, central seconds, and date. Screw-down crown, capped with the Maltese cross, unlocks with a twist. First position quick-sets the date, and a second pull hacks the seconds for precise time-setting. In-house Caliber 5100 beats at four hertz behind a sapphire caseback, where a 22-karat gold wind-rose rotor banks roughly sixty hours of reserve while a soft-iron shield holds magnetism at bay.

Comes as a complete set, boxed with its presentation case, outer packaging, international warranty card, instruction booklets, stainless steel bracelet, and additional leather and rubber straps for tool-free swaps.

Few sport watches carry this kind of quiet pedigree, a maison with roots stretching back more than two centuries and a movement finished to the oldest standard in the craft, wrapped in a case ready for the boardroom or the beach. Discontinued in this silver-dial, 41mm form, it rewards the collector who circles back once the louder names lose their shine. Slip it on, match the strap to the day, and let the Maltese cross do the talking.
