Ref. 47112, the Malte Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, is Vacheron Constantin's first manually wound perpetual calendar chronograph. It was launched in 2000 as one of the highlights of the new Malte collection. One of the major and most appealing features of the model is the engraved moon phase disc. Vacheron Constantin continued using it in the "Tour de l'Ile" super complication and in the most recent "Patrimony Traditionnelle" perpetual calendar chronograph. Fitted with calibre 1141QP, reference 47112 was in production until 2006/2007 and available exclusively in yellow gold and platinum.
