Patrimony self-winding 85180/000J-H069 40 mm Yellow Gold

Vacheron Constantin concludes the 20th anniversary celebration of the Patrimony collection with a new 18K 3N yellow gold self-winding model, result of a collaboration with designer Ora ïto. Behind the designer's signature concept of "Simplexity" - the art of proposing a simple response to a complex problem, of giving a simple appearance to an object involving invisible complexity, this limited edition of 100 pieces features a monochrome aesthetic with a yellow gold case framing a tone-on-tone gold-coloured dial adorned with an infinite number of concentric circles catching the light. This visually simple, circular geometry spreading like a rippling wave echoes the cambered dial surface. The model is paired with a burgundy calfskin strap, punctuated by rectangular shapes with softened angles that reinforce the vintage character of the watch and make a striking contrast with the circular geometry of the case and dial. This model is driven by in-house self-winding calibre 2450 Q6, which features an openworked oscillating weight in 22K gold inspired by the Maltese cross, visible through the sapphire caseback.
