Catalogue Essay
The present watch reference 86060, cased in pink gold, features a world time complication which is the most complete world time wristwatch ever produced in the Patrimony Traditionnelle World Time collection. Displaying not only the full time zones, but also the half and quarter time zones, this highly complicated function is however considerably easy to use. The watch features a revolving chapter ring with names of 37 cities printed in black and red ink and the centre of the dial features a Lambert Projection world map that lines up with the names of the cities. This complex mechanism is operated by one single crown only without any pushers and is extremely user-friendly, making it one of the most sought after models in the collection.
Vacheron Constantin
Swiss | 1755The world's oldest watch brand in continuous operation since its founding in 1755, Vacheron Constantin was the first watch company to manufacture movements with interchangeable parts beginning in 1839. Vacheron's watches are admired for their Latin-influenced case designs, well-balanced proportions and exquisitely finished movements of the highest quality. The Geneva-based manufacturer is known for their highly complicated masterpieces, including the King Farouk Grand Complication made in 1935, the Tour de l'Ile that was the most complicated serially produced wristwatch when introduced in 2005 and the 57260 — the world’s most complicated watch — made in 2015.
Key vintage models include minute repeating wristwatches such as the references 4261, chronographs such as the references 4178 and 6087 and the oversized Cioccolotone models such as ref. 4737. Collectors also appreciate Vacheron's Chronometer Royal pocket and wristwatches, as well as the '222,' the brand's first luxury sports watch produced from 1977 through 1984.
