A Trend for Slightly Smaller 36mm Cases
Vacheron Constantin, Geneva’s oldest watchmaking manufacture, has released a new 36mm 18K white gold model of its Patrimony Automatic, designed to be worn by anyone, regardless of gender.
Following the gentle and warm pink gold model introduced last year, this new creation expresses the Patrimony’s unadorned beauty and harmonious proportions through its 18K white gold case, resulting in a sharp, radiant, and elegant dress watch.
The Patrimony Automatic is equipped with an automatic movement developed and manufactured in-house by Vacheron Constantin, offering approximately 40 hours of power reserve. The sapphire crystal case back allows for viewing of the movement. Here, one can admire the beautiful hand-finishing, guaranteed by the Geneva Seal, including the 22K gold oscillating weight shaped like Vacheron Constantin's symbol, the Maltese cross.
The gently domed dial features a silver opaline finish. It inherits the Patrimony’s distinctive design elements, such as the "pearl" minute track, the hour markers, and the refined baton hands. The strap options combine a classic semi-matte black leather with a bold, glossy red leather strap, creating a timeless appeal.
