The night star is at the very heart of the Égérie moon phase model, which comes in a 37 mm case

surprise by appearing where it is least expected.

An offset circle glittering with 36 diamonds displays a dreamlike vision of time, with the 18K
gold moon appearing in a starry sky revealed behind clouds formed by a delicate motherof-
pearl assembly. The enchanting charm of this model is further enhanced by its opaline
silver dial and pleated pattern, developed after several months of testing and achieved using the
ancient ‘tapestry’ technique. This delicate process, performed using a machine dating from 1904
and operating on the principle of the pantograph, serves to reproduce a miniaturised engraving
based on a large-sized motif. This complex and meticulous operation calls for the greatest
dexterity on the part of the Vacheron Constantin guilloché artisan.
The Égérie moon phase model is available in steel set with 58 diamonds, while the crown is graced
with a cabochon-cut moonstone, a symbol of calm and serenity, contributing to a particularly
modern and dynamic version fitted with a metal bracelet. Both light and slim, it nestles on the
wrist like a second skin, to the point where one could easily forget it is even there. For a more chic,
sophisticated look, the case of the Égérie moon phase also comes in an 18K 5N pink gold version,
likewise fringed with 58 diamonds and featuring a cabochon moonstone on the crown. Its versatile
elegance is paired with three interchangeable leather straps, enabling the wearer to adopt a variety
of looks as the fancy takes her.
