Some pictures of the Vacheron Ref 47245, Day + Retrograde Date.
By: amanico : August 14th, 2013-05:23
A quick warning, this watch is a marvel. Honestly when I remember, as Respo did some days ago, the Vacheron Catalog from the early 2000's, I have, immediately in mind, the reasons which made me love this brand so much. There were a lot of watches which ex...
Much pleasure indeed!

Thank you for providing some excellent photos and thoughts on the ref. 47245, Day + Retrograde Date. We do not often get to see this platinum black dial version of the 47245, and it is the loveliest incarnation of the retrograde date from VC in modern tim...
You are right !

You are right, this watch is a marvel. I love the black dial on platinum, and the numerals, 2,4,6,8,10,12 is not a common layout, but it makes total sense and aesthically is perfect on this dial. Another one to add to my ever growing list. Simply elegant,...

Hi Nicolas, thanks for posting up on this watch, and your spot on comments. I agree with you on all the points you made. Respo covered all the add comments I was going to make. My piece has just finished its time at the spa, and I have to get to NYC bouti...
For me Bill, I love open backs

While I appreciate the points about the movement versus the saltarello rotor type work, I still love seeing the engine. That's just me. I am most happy with what I have in this watch. Thx Joe
nice post Nico of my first VC

Though mine is the RG version with white dial. (I prefer white dials on "dressier" watches). The guillochage matches well with my heavier cloth dress shirts as well ;-) I originally did not know that it only came out in RG and WG. I just learned last mont...
Thank you Nicolas, what an elegant way of indicating....

the date and the case...just "mignon". Perhaps in this instance it would have been better to have a solid case back. I definitely prefer it with the dial, I am not a great fan of skeleton dial, you see I look at a watch, especially one like this, as I loo...
Thanks for your great input, François.

Well, the problem with skeleton dials, is that you have to see them in the flesh, to be sure you love them, or you definitly don't. I have the feeling this Watch is the kind of Vacheron you like, my friend... All the best! Nicolas
Nice review.....

This is one of the cassics fom the early 2000's, and one that every fan of the brand should consider (VC having such a wonderful history of retrograding complications over the years). Bill
Yes, that is what this thread boils down to...
By: respo : August 15th, 2013-05:19
respo must get a retrograding VC. This was all about selecting my next VC, right? ;-) Seriously, this thread is driving me a little crazy -- in a good way. Best, respo
Very nice post, Nico

It was one of my first VC's as well. Many thanks, Joseph
