  • Catalogue Essay

    Paying homage to its heritage of traditional watchmaking, Vacheron Constantin introduced the Patrimony collection in 2004 as one of its flagship collections of fine timepieces manufactured by one of the oldest manufacturers. With an emphasis of keeping its design and appeal traditional, it takes its inspiration from elegant timepieces from the 1950s.

    One of the timepieces included in the collection was the Patrimony Traditionelle Chronograph. Launched with various interpretations, the timepiece is an elegantly designed pure chronograph wristwatch with a perfectly symmetrical dial layout that is a comfort to witness. Furthermore, reminiscing chronograph timepieces from the 1950s, the movement has been kept manual and is inspired from a Lemania caliber.

    The present example encased in 18K white gold with pink gold pushers and crown is a simple and attractive timepiece further enhanced by its pink gold indexes matching its pushers and crown. With a case measuring 42mm and a movement inspired from Lemania chronograph calibers, it can be the perfect counterpart for the Patek Philippe ref. 5070.

    Presented in excellent overall condition with its full set of accessories, this present example is with no doubt value for buck.

  • 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.
