Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Dae 42.5mm Rose Gold

Today, we have the pleasure of presenting to you a representative of the so-called “Holy Trinity” in the art of watchmaking. And while Patek Philippe has the honor of being the prerogative of the most affluent and established admirers of this art, and Audemars Piguet takes on the role of satisfying the pursuits and desires of the more sporty and casual ladies and gentlemen, Vacheron Constantin is undoubtedly afforded the pleasure of gratifying that part of watch enthusiasts who seek the different, the beautiful, and perfection in everything they possess. We have never hidden that for us, this brand is one of our most beloved, and we always approach every offering we manage to find with awe and hidden excitement. It is no coincidence that today, for the first time, we have the pleasure of presenting a representative from its distinctly classic dress line, Patrimony – simply, until now, all the timepieces that have reached us changed ownership so quickly that we were unable to give them the proper attention. Certainly, in this model, the manufacturer has managed to distill its centuries of experience, and this is evident in the overall visual presence of the timepiece – classic clean lines, a strict two-tone color scheme, thin and elongated indices, a retrograde design, elegant hands, and a crown with the Maltese cross. All of this leaves no doubt as to exactly what kind of watch you are wearing on your wrist. And the fact that the case is crafted from 18-carat rose gold makes the entire combination even more interesting. At the heart of the timepiece, under the manufacture designation Caliber 2460 R31R7, beats a truly iconic in-house movement from the brand – with a remarkable height of just 3.6 mm, 27 jewels, and a 40-hour power reserve. The movement has successfully passed one of the highest standards of quality in the art of watchmaking – the Hallmark of Geneva. The transparent case back allows us to admire its exceptional finishing.
