Vacheron Constantin has extended its collection of platinum watches with the Patrimony Collection Excellence Platine watch, which is described as a watchmaking dream.
Patrimony provides a pure and contemporary reinterpretation of a noble classic from the Swiss luxury watchmaker’s heritage, stemming from the traditional watchmaking of the 1950s.
Its deliberately minimalistic impression belies a concern for detail aimed at achieving perfectly balanced lines.
The dial, hour-markers and hands all follow the gentle curve of the case, complemented by a perfectly designed small seconds subdial and a “pearl” minute track.
The new Hallmark of Geneva-certified Patrimony Collection Excellence Platine is a numbered series and limited to 150 pieces. Its generous 42 mm-diameter case houses the calibre 4400 AS, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback and adorned with a Côtes de Genève motif.
Since 2006, through its Collection Excellence Platine, Vacheron Constantin has been offering collectors exceptional watches in 950 platinum issued in limited series and ranging from the simplest to the most complicated models.
In addition to a platinum case, their common denominators include a platinum dial with a sand-blasted finish, a secret Pt950 signature between 4 and 5 o’clock, 18-karat white gold hands, hour-markers and a “pearl” minute track, a dark blue alligator leather strap hand- stitched with silk tread and platinum thread, as well as a polished half Maltese cross-shape platinum buckle.
