A Closer Look at the Platinum Patrimony Traditionnelle

 
 By: WHL : November 29th, 2013-20:29
After visiting with Vacheron Constantin in April to see the 2013 novelties from SIHH in New York, I stated that my favorite watch from Vacheron Constantin this year was the Patrimony Traditionnelle in platinum with gray dial (It still is). I had taken pho...  

Bill, thanks for the review and photos. It is incredible that

Every review of the Traditionelle manual wind has only been positive. I guess this is one of those lucky timepieces. It makes me proud as an owner of the PG version. I hope I get to see the platinum version in grey dial as well, and I also hope I can add ... 

Great review

Thanks for sharing this, Bill. The Traditionelle has been on my wish list for a while now, and it is getting closer to becoming a reality, but this very nice grey has somewhat thrown my focus on the silver dialed one off now. It's a good kind of confusing... 

That is simply one of the finest, if not the THE finest watch of the current production.

In my opinion, of course, but this Watch represents what I have in mind when I think Vacheron: Refinement, elegance, class, a bit of understatement. Best, Nicolas

Thanks, my dear Jerome.

Bill I think VC should attempt a platinum grey dial for the

Automatic Traditionelle, the version with date at 3 and seconds sundial at 9. They did make a boutique edition black dial a few years ago but that didn't work. Grey would look cool on that too. Just my 2 cents.

Love this watch Bill!

Too bad it is not found with ADs more often. Would you like it to be a bit bigger, such as 40mm? Best Sam

Thank you sooooo much Bill. This is IT!!!........

What a stunning breath taking piece, am in love. I wasn't too familiar with this model, and have been confused with the VC offerings in the last few years, but this is just utter class, wow. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing Bill

I love the Patrimony Traditionelle. I have the rg version. If I were to buy a Patrimony now... this platinum version will most likely be my choice! Lovely pics Bill. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Robin

Hi Bill and thank you for the wonderful review...

I do prefer the Contemporaine as well, but this watch is quite seductive. I have seen it in the New York Boutique and the photos although excellent, do not do it justice at all. I think that this combination is the nicest of them all and I'm a big rose go... 

These are great photos of the PT, Bill

I can tell how good they are by the amount of drool they are eliciting. Slurp! Among the "uncomplicated" pieces released by VC this year, this one is the very best, IMHO. It is perfect. Not a thing to change, no way to improve it. I do keep comparing this...

Hey Bill, I wanted to revive this old thread to say thanks for selling me this piece. I could not agree with your assessment more and this article helped me make the decisions. SO MANY details done just right on this watch. Thanks again. ...
