Hell , we can barely say the name ( or tell clock time ) , but we understand the grounds for all the security features this puppy boasts as part of a multi - faceted effort to deter counterfeiter . For anywhere between $ 12,000 to the said $ 60k , owners can customise their Vacheron Constantin Quai de l’Ile with 400 styles and deterrents , like the embedded invisible ink charge plate slip that are localize beneath the picket face ( see : the piffling sun between the 1 and 2 above ) . If that sound familiar , it ’s because some of the same techniques are used in paper currency . Also making the deletion for this “ impossible to counterfeit ” timekeeper — their boast , not ours — are layers of invisible ultraviolet illumination marking , laser perforation of the watch ’s home function , gamy - security ink , and special secret measure that are used to insure passport and currentness . Some of the 400 models even have bantam schoolbook on the dials that is readable only with a magnifying spyglass . And , like the watch , even the text is full of itself , as it reproduces portions of some missive direct between 19th - hundred family phallus of the watchmaker , Jaques - Barthélémy Vacheron and François Constantin .
