It's rhodium-plated, with fausses côtes embellishment, and it's stamped with the Geneva quality hallmark. It has an embellished oscillating weight, and It's constructed with 17 jewels, 117 components, a shock absorber device, and a straight-line lever escapement. It includes a large monometallic balance that's adjusted to temperatures, isochronism, and 5 positions. It has a self-compensating flat balance spring. To maintain a thinner mechanism, the pallet lever is on a lower level than the fork horn, as are the pivots and jewels. Also adding to the thin movement is the lack of an impulse roller, and the impulse jewel is placed directly into the balance arms. The mechanism oscillates at a frequency of 18,000 vph (2.5Hz). This Vacheron Constantin Historiques Ultra Fine 1955, reference 33155/000r-9588, was first introduced in 2010, and at that time it was the thinnest mechanical watch in the world, produced in limited numbers.
