Vacheron Constantin presents the new Patrimony small model whose 36 mm diameter case ideally suits for both men’s and women’s wrists. This new interpretation flaunts a colourful touch with a pink gold case, fitted with a purple shiny alligator leather strap, while those with a preference for discreet elegance will opt for the dark brown alligator version.
This Hallmark of Geneva certified new model features beautifully balanced, pure lines framing a slightly domed silvered opaline dial. Slender baton-type hands follow the dance of time, sweeping over tapering pink gold applied hour-markers and a “pearl” minute-track.
The transparent sapphire crystal caseback provides an opportunity to admire the intricate mechanics of time adorned with distinctive Haute Horlogerie finishing. The mechanical self-winding Caliber 2450 Q6 movement, entirely developed and manufactured by Vacheron Constantin, drives the central hours, minutes and seconds functions as well as the aperture-type date display, while ensuring a 40-hour power reserve.
It also features a stop-seconds device operating during time-setting and thereby guaranteeing the precision of its adjustment. A 22K gold oscillating weight adorned with a Maltese cross symbol sets the perfect finishing touch to the aesthetic appeal of this new model.
