Product Overview
The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony reference 81180/000G-9117 embodies the essence of classical watchmaking. Inspired by the elegant timepieces of the 1950s, this 40mm dress watch is cast in brilliant 18k white gold and features an astonishingly thin profile of just 6.79mm. The watch is powered by the strictly regulated Caliber 1400 manual winding movement, ensuring exceptional precision and finishing that meets the exacting standards of the Hallmark of Geneva. It is a timepiece designed for those who appreciate understated luxury and historical horological significance.
The Art of Minimalism
The Patrimony collection is defined by its pursuit of absolute purity in design. The silvered opaline dial is slightly convex, creating a beautiful depth that catches the light from every angle. It features a circular pearl minute track alongside applied 18k white gold baton hour markers and hands. These elements are subtly curved to follow the slope of the dial, demonstrating a meticulous attention to detail that only a manufacturer with over two centuries of history can provide.
Mechanical Excellence
At the heart of this timepiece is the Caliber 1400, a manual-winding mechanical movement developed and manufactured entirely in-house by Vacheron Constantin. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it offers a reliable power reserve of approximately 40 hours. Every component of this movement is finished by hand to the highest traditional standards, earning it the coveted Hallmark of Geneva. This certification is an independent guarantee of origin, durability, and superior craftsmanship.
Refined Comfort and Wearability
The solid 18k white gold caseback provides a pristine surface that can be personalized with custom engraving, adding an intimate touch to an already exceptional watch. The Patrimony is presented on a sophisticated black Mississippiensis alligator leather strap. It is secured by a classic 18k white gold ardillon buckle shaped like a half Maltese cross, paying a subtle tribute to the enduring emblem of Vacheron Constantin.
