Incoming Vacheron Skeleton T

Been collecting for close to 20 years now and the Vacheron Constantin 6000V/110R-B934 Overseas Tourbillon Skeleton just hit all the right notes. Still have to try it with the other straps it comes with but man, I’m over the moon.
Love Patek, love AP, love Rolex, but Vacheron knows what they are doing.

Congrats! This watch hits all the right spots for me and the Ti version is probably my favourite VC.

I was at the boutique a few weeks ago looking at the normal tourbillon version and they said both openwork versions are doable with a deposit and few months wait. But all the price increases over the years made me hold off for now. Hopefully one day...

Looks great. Can you post some pics with the watch on wrist at a distance... say 5 or 6 feet away? I'm curious to see it from a more global view.

Same boat here, I had my name down when it was first announced and before I know it, the price went up when the first one was shipped. Then when my turn came, there was another price increase. It is definitely a grail piece but $180k for the Ti version is just too much to stomach.

Huge congrats to OP though

Is the Ti version only $180K in the US? It was nearly $300K SGD here.

When I got the call about a year ago, it was USD180 before sales tax. So the final cost to me would be about $200k. Do you know if there is another price increase in the last 12-18 months?

Wow. I haven't been keeping track of the price increases but I was told it's $291K SGD retail price now.

Congratulations. Hard to do better. Buy a good 5x or even 7x loupe, otherwise you loose 50% details and pleasure.

Totally agree with your VC sentiment! A grail piece like this is firing on all cylinders!
