ABOUT THIS WATCH

• Vacheron’s reference 4241 is an important model in the ‘Holy Trinity’ watchmaker’s history, having launched as a follow up to the landmark reference 4240
• Both models are renowned for the incorporation of triple calendar movements that were based on Jaeger-LeCoultre’s calibres from a period when the two revered watchmakers merged together
• The significance of these watches is underpinned by brand’s decision to launch two triple calendar models in 2017 directly inspired by aesthetic of the 4240 and 4241 references
• The watch is characterised by its 36mm precious metal case and distinctive horn-shaped lugs
• Notably, its size is larger than the 4240 that came before, offering a bit of extra wrist presence
• The dial is nuanced with applied hour markers sitting inboard of a radial date with red numerals
• Additional touches of colour can be seen on the day and month apertures
• These functions are displayed courtesy of the calibre 455 as noted in the accompanying archive certificate
• This movement is based on the time-only Jaeger-LeCoultre base calibre 449
