====== VC 5200 ======
**Calibre 5200** is a [[manufacture]] [[automatic chronograph]] movement from [[Vacheron Constantin]] first produced in [[2016]].

===== Overview =====
Vacheron Constantin long relied on [[ebauche]] movements from [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]], [[F. Piguet]], and [[Audemars Piguet]], but in [[2016]] they unveiled a family of in-house movements to be used across their product line. Cal. 5200 is the company's [[chronograph]] movement, with [[column wheel]], [[central rotor]] [[automatic]] winding, and modern 28,800 A/h frequency. The movement is quite large, measuring 30.60 mm (13 1/4 ligne) in diameter and 6.60 mm thick. It is also extravagantly [[jewel]]ed, with 54 jewels specified. Vacheron Constantin is proud to have a [[Geneva Hallmark]] on all these movements.

This movement replaced the [[F. Piguet]]-derived [[VC 1137]] movement in chronograph watches from Vacheron Constantin such as the [[Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph|Overseas Chronograph]], though Cal. 5200 is quite a bit larger than that 26.2 mm movement. Cal. 1137 had a [[big date]] module, however, while Cal. 5200 has a small date aperture placed at 4 30 on the Overseas Chronograph.

Although the design is reminiscent of the time-and-date [[VC 5100]] movement introduced at the same time, Cal. 5200 is not a module on top of that movement. Instead, the elements of the chronograph are integrated into a movement of similar design and construction.
