Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar 4300V
What is the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar 4300V?
The 4300V is the perpetual calendar at the top of Vacheron Constantin's Overseas line: a 41.5 mm case in rose or white gold that is only 8.1 mm thick across every example in the store's listings, yet carries a full perpetual calendar with a moon phase. The movement family is Vacheron Constantin's calibre 1120 QP, self-winding, with 36 jewels and a power reserve of about 40 hours. The calendar is a true perpetual: the listings' descriptions record that it displays the correct date, including leap years, until 2100, and the moon phase is drawn as a star-studded sky with two gold moons. The store's listings record water resistance of 50 metres for the reference.

- Movement family: calibre 1120 QP, self-winding, with a power reserve of about 40 hours.

- Skeleton and closed dial versions are different references, not a trim choice.

Which 4300V variants are there, and how can you tell them apart?
The reference after the slash separates the metals, and the code after the dash names the dial:
Variant matrix
| Reference | How to tell it apart |
|---|---|
| 4300V/120R-B064 | Rose gold, silver dial. |
| 4300V/220R-B509 | Rose gold, blue dial. |
| 4300V/220R-B642 | Rose gold, skeleton dial, its movement recorded as calibre 1120 QP/1. |
| 4300V/120G-B946 | White gold, skeleton dial, its movement recorded as the skeletonized calibre 1120 QPSQ/1. |
| 4300V/220G-B945 and 4300V/120G-B945 | White gold, blue dial, listed under both wearing configurations. |
| 4300V/220G-H151 | White gold, burgundy dial. |
R in the segment before the dash is rose gold and G is white gold, exactly as in the 4500V guide. Skeleton against closed dial is a reference-level difference, not a trim choice: the skeleton watches carry their own suffixes and their own calibre designations, so a skeleton 4300V and a closed-dial 4300V are different references that happen to share a base number. The wearing configuration varies across the family as well: the listings show pin buckles and deployant clasps across the references, so read the full reference and the individual listing rather than assuming how a given example is worn.
What should you check on any 4300V?
A perpetual calendar lives or dies by its setting tools. The store's sets show what to look for: the blue dial rose gold set includes a corrector pusher alongside its straps, and the skeleton rose gold set includes a setting pin. An example missing its corrector tools is incomplete in a way that matters every time the calendar needs setting. Check the strap completeness as well: Overseas sets in the store's listings carry the additional leather and rubber straps alongside the boxes and warranty card, and a set that has lost its extra straps is a lesser set. Confirm that every calendar indication advances correctly, that the moon phase disc matches the reference (the skeleton's openworked dial shows the movement where the closed dials show the calendar layout), and that the warranty card carries the full reference including its dial code.

Frequently asked questions
How thin is the 4300V?
The case is 8.1 mm thick across every example in the store's listings, yet it carries a full perpetual calendar with a moon phase.
Which movement does the 4300V use?
The movement family is Vacheron Constantin's calibre 1120 QP, self-winding, with 36 jewels and a power reserve of about 40 hours. The skeleton variants carry their own designations, 1120 QP/1 and 1120 QPSQ/1.
How far ahead does the 4300V calendar run correctly?
Per the listings' descriptions, it displays the correct date, including leap years, until 2100. The moon phase is drawn as a star-studded sky with two gold moons.
What do R and G mean in a 4300V reference?
R in the segment before the dash is rose gold and G is white gold. The code after the dash names the dial.
Is a skeleton 4300V the same reference as a closed dial one?
No. Skeleton against closed dial is a reference-level difference, not a trim choice: the skeleton watches carry their own suffixes and their own calibre designations.
Why do the setting tools matter on a 4300V?
A perpetual calendar lives or dies by its setting tools. The blue dial rose gold set includes a corrector pusher and the skeleton rose gold set includes a setting pin, and an example missing its corrector tools is incomplete in a way that matters every time the calendar needs setting.
