Vacheron Constantin Ref. 47052 - Semainier
The neo-vintage era of Vacheron Constantin’s catalog holds many hidden gems — and one of the most underrated is undoubtedly the Ref. 47052 Semainier. This elegant piece features a highly unusual and charming complication: a triple calendar with a weekly calendar display — a true rarity in modern watchmaking.
The dial and hands are among the most striking elements of this watch. It features a hand-crafted “Vieux Panier” guilloché pattern, reminiscent of delicate brush strokes — an intricate and visually stunning detail. The hands are cylindrically domed and accented with a line of black enamel, adding depth and sophistication. A beautifully applied Maltese cross and a solid lapis lazuli moonphase disc further elevate the aesthetic, showcasing Vacheron’s renowned attention to detail.
Named “Semainier” after the pointer hand that tracks the weeks of the year, this reference is built on the ultra-slim JLC ébauche 889. Despite having a four-hand stack and multiple complications, it remains incredibly thin and well-balanced on the wrist. With perfectly proportioned lugs and a classic 36mm case, it wears beautifully — timeless, elegant, and understated.
This example is in very good condition with some wear common with its age, nothing stands out. Keeping time perfectly well, all calendar functions work well.
A forgotten treasure from Vacheron Constantin’s archives — and a truly special piece.
