Patrimony petit modèle

Patrimony small model

The art of refinement, the art of horological expertise
The living soul of Haute Horlogerie

Classic yet contemporary. Understated and refined. Moderate and yet sensual. The new Patrimony small model reveals its undeniable assets in an engagingly natural manner expressed through pink or white gold. Its femininity beats to the rhythm of a mechanical heart entirely crafted by Vacheron Constantin, hand-wound Calibre 1400, bearing the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva. This new creation lends its own unique aura of timeless charm to the feminine line from the Manufacture.

The slender 6.7 mm watch profile radiates purity and sheer elegance accentuated by a rim of brilliant-cut diamonds. The exquisite grace exuded by the Patrimony Contemporary small model watch is truly captivating. Time blossoms within the 36 mm diameter case with its perfectly mastered curves. The pared-down simplicity of the dial provides ample proof that true beauty will always shine without any need for ostentation.

The gold case frames an opaline silver-toned dial on which time pursues its perpetually renewed journey. Long applied hour-markers punctuating a beaded minute circle in 18-carat gold create a delightful visual rhythmical effect. The pursuit of simplicity is also conveyed through the gentle sweep of the hands reflecting the elegance of traditional watchmaking characterised by refined craftsmanship and a timeless, eminently horological spirit. Beneath this apparent sobriety lies a prestigious mechanical hand-wound movement. The Manufacture Vacheron Constantin Calibre 1400 echoes a design imbued with authenticity.

Heir to expertise born in 1755 and passed on from generation to generation, this movement is revealed through the transparent caseback. Its technical sophistication is matched by the entirely hand-crafted finishing entirely performed according to the highest traditional standards and meeting the most demanding Fine Watchmaking criteria. The flat surfaces are adorned with Côtes de Genève and the sharp edges are chamfered and hand-polished, as are the flat-headed screws.

The Patrimony Contemporaine small model clearly embodies the majesty of true elegance. Its supreme femininity is unequivocally asserted and proves itself entirely worthy of the noble heritage cultivated by a House founded over 255 years ago.
