Vacheron Constantin Patrimony

The Holy Trinity of watch brands: Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin. Generally less understood than either of its respected compatriots, Vacheron Constantin has a legacy of producing some of the very finest high horology complications in history — and some of the loveliest. Sports watches came later to VC, as pressure from the new ‘Luxury Sports Watch’ category introduced in the early 1970s forced the storied brand to evolve — but historically, classically styled dress pieces is where Vacheron cut their teeth. The Patrimony line is to Vacheron as the Calatrava line is to Patek Philippe, classic, understated and timeless. This particular Patrimony, dating to circa 1961, features a 36mm yellow gold case with an acrylic crystal, a polished bezel, and a sunburst silver dial with applied indices and a matching handset. Powered Vacheron Constantin's Calibre K1071 automatic winding movement, it comes paired to an one of our Analog:Shift leather straps with a gold plated pin buckle. With its perfectly sized case and beautifully symmetrical layout, this is a fantastic opportunity to own a classic dress watch style from one of the world’s finest watchmakers.
