  • Catalogue Essay

    The Patrimony collection is intended to celebrate Vacheron Constantin rich heritage as one of the most revered watchmakers in history.

    The present modern piece, for example, is a superb interpretation in modern style of a vintage chronograph. The dial exquisitely reprises some aesthetic traits typical of early-twentieth-century dial design such as the fifth of a second divisions and the somewhat sectorial design. The dial is three-tone, with the main color being a lovely grey/beige, followed by the white outer track, and finally silvered chapter rings. The concentric circles guillochage of the subsidiary counters is another nod to the vintage world. The modern spirit of the piece is instead apparent with the large 42mm size.

    Offered in mint condition and complete of all its original accessories, the present watch is ideal for a the vintage watch connoisseur looking for a modern reinterpretation of old-school canons.

  • Artist Biography

    Vacheron Constantin

    Swiss • 1755

    The 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.
