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.
