2460 G4

About the Vacheron Constantin 2460 G4

The base is the 2460, the in-house automatic Vacheron Constantin introduced in 2005 with a 22-carat gold rotor, 28,800 vph and a 40-hour reserve. The G4 display puts all four indications on discs at the edge of the dial, two of them dragging continuously and two jumping at midnight, so the centre is uninterrupted by hands and can carry enamel, engraving or marquetry. The movement has 27 jewels and a 31 mm diameter, and every one carries the Hallmark of Geneva. The G4/1 and G4/2 are its variants.

In the library it sits under 28 Métiers d'Art references, the annual Legend of the Chinese Zodiac series in platinum and pink gold and the Les Univers Infinis dials, and 7 Les Cabinotiers special orders. The 40 mm case accounts for 26 references and the 41 mm for 7. Every one of the 35 is a limited edition.

The 2460 SC is the same base with conventional hands, and the glossary defines the guilloché the dials are often built on.
