SIHH Preview: Vacheron Constantin Quai de l��Ile Retrograde Annual Calendar
Vacheron Constantin’s Quai de l'Ile collection offers contemporary design and a unique opportunity for owners to create their own distinctive example via a series of personalization options. For 2011, a new Retrograde Annual Calendar joins the collection, powered by the new Vacheron Constantin Calibre 2460 QRA automatic movement. Available in pink or white gold, or both if the customer desires, the 43mm case houses a new movement designed, developed and crafted by Vacheron Constantin, and bearing the Hallmark of Geneva. The 326-part Calibre 2460 QRA drives the hours, minutes and small seconds at 9 o'clock, as well as the annual calendar with retrograde date display, months and a high-precision moon-phase indication requiring correction once every 122 years. Equipped with a stop-seconds device (“hacking seconds”) to ensure precise time-setting, the movement runs at 4 Hz (28,800 vph) with a 40-hour power reserve. The ruthenium-plated 22K gold rotor is mounted on ceramic

This movement is an equipped officially certified chronometer of a coaxial escapement on three levels and sprung-balance available.

5165 VS 5167? Is dial different?
Hey guys.As a new patek lover, I have to ask.I have seen many contradicting things about this, but does the 5165 have that mesmerising color changing dial that the 5167 has?Problem is that I don't love the size of the 5167, but would be bummed if the 5165 didn't look more or less the same in a smaller size.I don't mind the movement, which I am aware is different. Does not bother me one bit.Also. How difficult would it be to acquire the 5165? Not sure when it was discontinued.Thanks guys!
