PATRIMONY, THE NEW RELEASES

For the 2nd edition of Watches&Wonders,
Vacheron Constantin is enriching its flagship collection with five new models
The Manufacture rounds out the Patrimony range with variations instilled with a modern, dynamic spirit, while remaining true to the collection’s characteristic aesthetic purity and elegance.

  •  The slate-grey dial of the 40 mm and 42.5 mm-diameter models gives them with a contemporary appearance entirely suited to daily elegance.
  •  The small models now come on leather straps, giving them a resolutely feminine and refined appeal.

PATRIMONY RETROGRADE DAY-DATE 86020


Aesthetic purity matching mechanical complexity.

Equipped with an original and useful double complication, revealed by two retrograde-type displays, the Patrimony retrograde day-date is a perfect example of technical expertise devoted to a pure aesthetic. Or how mechanical complexity gives way to aesthetic moderation. The caseback is equipped with a sapphire crystal providing a chance to admire the self-winding 2460 R31 R movement.





The Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date bears the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva.


PATRIMONY 81180


Sobriety is a demanding stylistic exercise accomplished to perfection with this model inspired by the original launched in 1957. With its generous diameter, its broad opening and its subtly domed dial enhanced by a “pearl” minute-circle, along with its slender hour-markers and baton-type hands, it is a compendium of all the collection’s signature features.





The Patrimony 81180 bears the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva.


PATRIMONY 85180

The Patrimony self-winding is entirely in line with the traditions of time-honoured artisan-style traditions perpetuated by Vacheron Constantin.
External refinement is matched by inner elegance. At its heart beats self-winding Calibre 2450 Q6, developed and crafted by Vacheron Constantin, and visible through the caseback fitted with a sapphire crystal.






This model bears the prestigious Poinçon de Genève.


PATRIMONY SMALL MODEL


Designed for modern women, this watch lights up the dance of the hours with a gem-set minute-circle, an authentic style element entirely in tune with the times. A diamond-studded bezel tops the dial featuring a date display, while the crown is adorned with a cabochon.




The new Patrimony small model is fitted with a Mississippiensis alligator leather strap – blue for the white gold version and taupe for the pink gold version – that is ideal for daily wear.





Admirably blending technical and aesthetic refinement, the Patrimony small model also bears the Hallmark of Geneva.

the RG case together with the slate-grey dial looks fantastic.

How gorgeous ! Althought the white date disc on

the automatic stands out a bit too much.

So, the split has finally happened

Patrimony and Traditionelle are apart at last. ;-) I think this may be a good change in the long run. I must say these rose gold with gray dial Patrimonies are very attractive. They remind me of the very limited edition yellow gold and gray dial Patrimony...
