Swiss watchmaker Vacheron Constantin introduced the Reference 57260 pocket watch to mark its 260th anniversary. Commissioned by a leading collector, the unique piece took a team of three watchmakers more than eight years to design and build. Housed in a solid 18k white-gold case measuring 98 mm in diameter and 50.55 mm thick, the Reference 57260 boasts a record‑setting 57 complications. Developed and manufactured in‑house, it is powered by calibre 3750, a mechanical manual‑winding movement beating at 18,000 vph, with 242 jewels, over 2,800 components, and a 60‑hour power reserve. Featuring a double dial for enhanced readability, the Reference 57260 is made only on commission.
