DESCRIPTION

  • Patrimony Automatique
    Upholding the spirit of Vacheron Constantin's tradition
       

    Haute Horlogerie is most powerfully expressed in the classical form. An elegant shape and timeless style combine with refined, harmonious lines to make "classic" timepieces the true standard-bearers of an age-old tradition.  

    Vacheron Constantin's Patrimony, with its pure lines and a diameter of 40 mm, has become the brand's most emphatic example of this style. Following a hand-winding version introduced in 2004, Vacheron Constantin has now been expanded the line to include an automatic model.  

    Thanks to the introduction of the new calibre 2450 automatic movement - stamped with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève and designed and developed exclusively by Vacheron Constantin - the brand's Manufacture is now proud to present the Patrimony Automatique. This model exemplifies the traditional, time-honoured craftsmanship and expertise of the oldest watch Manufacture in Switzerland, which has enjoyed over 250 years of uninterrupted activity.      

    The Patrimony line

    Or the quest for elegance and refinement
     

    The Patrimony line is a true expression of classicism. While it unambiguously asserts its affiliation with Vacheron Constantin's founding values, it is also distinguished by its aesthetic qualities, making it one of the brand's emblematic lines.  

    Designed to be worn at all times, looking just as smart with city clothes as with evening dress, the Patrimony is the watch of preference for men attached to traditional values.  

    By housing a whole range of movements, from the simplest to the most complicated, the Patrimony models are clearly evolving. At the same time, they continue to reflect the brand's expertise.  

    Proving that innovation is an ongoing process and that safeguarding the traditional values of the Patrimony line is a major concern for Vacheron Constantin, the Manufacture introduced the new Patrimony Contemporaine line, the worthy successor of this long tradition, in 2004.

    Introduction of the Patrimony Contemporaine Automatique  

    With its ultra-pure lines and a diameter of 40 mm, the Patrimony Contemporaine has become the most emphatic example of Vacheron Constantin's classical style; the hand-wound version introduced in 2004 has now been joined by an automatic version, the Patrimony Contemporaine Automatique, which brings its own merits to the model.  

    Designed without any concessions and with great integrity, this model reflects the natural development of the line. A magnificent illustration of the authenticity of a style still recognised as the most perfect affirmation of horological savoir-faire, its contours, proportions and elegance instinctively bring to mind the pure, harmonious and timeless lines of a Vacheron Constantin timepiece.      

    A dial, a date - a pure and timeless design

    An open back to admire the Poinçon de Genève movement
     

    In designing the Patrimony Automatique, Vacheron Constantin remains absolutely faithful to its philosophy.  

    The Patrimony Automatique – introduced this year in white or yellow gold versions - is an emphatic declaration of contemporary elegance. With its fine lines and a diameter of 40 mm, it proudly conveys the strength and simplicity of contemporary classicism.  

    The brand has brought all its expertise to bear on this model. With its soldered horns, hand-polishing and hand-finishing, it is a supreme example of the fine execution and craftsmanship of all Vacheron Constantin timepieces and meets the most stringent criteria of the brand.  

    Other clear references to this heritage are the curved dial, directly inspired by the watches of the 1950's, and its sunray effect; this is obtained by satin-finishing.  

    To respect the criteria of the Patrimonyline, the hour circle is decorated with polished 18K gold triangular hour markers and a circular-grained minute-circle. The hour markers and central baton hands are curved, by hand, to follow the shape of the dial.  

    As a final concession to contemporary aspirations, a date window, slightly chamfered to create the effect of a well of light, has been placed at 6 o'clock so that it does not interfere with the reading of the time and respects the overall aesthetic harmony of the watch.  

    Finally, the open back has been fitted with a large sapphire crystal, making it possible to admire the new calibre 2450 automatic movement stamped with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève, the decorated 22K gold rotor, and all the finishing on the movement's various parts.
