Correcting the month and the year (5):
Correct the month and the year by pressing the month and year
corrector pushpiece (IV) using the corrector pen (VI) supplied with
the watch. The red transfer indicates a leap year. Each time the
corrector is pressed the display advances by one month. If the
adjustment is being carried out on the first of the month, display
the previous month.
NOTE: If for any reason your Self-winding Perpetual Calendar
loses its settings entirely, or if you are unsure of carrying out the
adjustments correctly or fear that something may be amiss, do
not hesitate at any time to approach an authorised Vacheron
Constantin agent or contact Vacheron Constantin in Geneva to
receive assistance and advice.
Finalising the setting:
Pull out the winding and time-setting crown (I) to position B then
advance the hands until the correct date and time indications are
displayed. Then push the winding and time-setting crown (I) back
to position A.

Setting the phase of the moon:
IMPORTANT: Do not set the phase of the moon by pressing the
corrector (V) between 6pm and 10am.
Correct the phase of the moon by pressing the phase of the moon
corrector (V) using the corrector pen (VI) supplied with the watch.
Each time the corrector is pressed the moon disc advances by
one day.
To position the moon correctly, look on a calendar to find the date
of the last new moon (indicated on calendars by a black or greyed-
out full circle) and the number of days that have elapsed since. Then
position the moon indicator so that the two discs representing the
moon are hidden. Next, press the corrector (V) the same number of
times as the number of days that have elapsed since the last new
moon.
