A quick picture of Les Historiques Chronograph in platinum.

I will certainly write something about that Watch which provides me a renewed pleasure each time I see it.

My favourite remains the salmon dial, but I must admit that this silver dial, much more understated, is not lacking interest nor charm.

And, as always, I miss this kind of case. Even if I like, too, the Malte Chronograph which came just after that reference.

Here it is, for the pleasure of your eyes...

 

One day, I will have to come back to this Chronograph, and get another one!

Best,

Nicolas.

I hunted for one in PT for a very long time, but couldn't find one in the condition I wanted, so I moved on... I owned its yellow gold brother for a while--also a nice piece, with so much vintage flavor--but eventually sold it as I mostly prefer white met... 

It is one of these very rare watches I love in all metals. ;)

But with a strong preference for Pt cases, here... All the best, my friend. Nicolas

Nicolas, I am in the same camp with you on this one. Oddly enough, I like all versions of this watch. But I do not necessarily have a strong preference for the platinum case. I almost think now that I prefer the yellow gold, which is also strange for me. ... 

I found the yellow gold Historiques Chonograph.....

To have a more formal air about it. I attributed it to the gold ring around the subdials. While VC delivered the watch with a shiny black strap, even a matte finished or brown strap retained the formality. I preferred platinum (rare for me) for a more gen... 

I quite like the platinum with the silver dial....

and prefer it to the salmon dial (though I may be in the minority on that front). Of course, my favorite was this one: Bill ...

...to buy this VC chrono just a couple of months ago... but in my case it was in YG, and that's the reason I give up. as for you, my friend, maybe i'm not ready for that king of gold (perhaps you just don't like it) :) TFS this Pt version, really cool, I ... 

Beautiful VC case
