Watch of the Week: The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date

The Vacheron Constantin brand is synonymous with designs rich in history, and the Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date in 18K pink gold is the perfect testament. Inspired by the elegance of 1950s Vacheron Constantin models, the Patrimony collection embodies timeless design, reflecting the brand’s minimalist approach to design that balances bold lines and curves.

This signature 42.5mm timepiece sports a rare combination of retrograde hand-type day and date display with hour markers and hands following the gentle curve of the dial. The pink gold case complements the luxurious dark brown alligator leather strap that is accompanied by a polished pink gold clasp. These subtle design details all seamlessly work together to create a contemporary classic while also giving the nod to the past design DNA of Vacheron Constantin.

The sapphire glass transparent caseback serves as a window to the remarkable hand-finished details of the self-winding mechanical movement of caliber 2460 R31R7/3 that features a power reserve of up to 40 hours. The Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date is truly the epitome of Vacheron Constantin’s timeless design, suitable for everyday wear or to pass down to generations to come.
