Very classy.
Just collected my early Christmas present and I'm feeling pretty chuffed! I've been thinking about taking the plunge on a Patek or Vacheron for a while and I couldn't ignore the value for money you get with a pre-owned VC. My first "dress" watch so I don't think it will be worn every day but I'm looking forward to glancing down at it for many years ahead.
An absolute dream of a watch. I hate to think how much time I've spent gazing at photos of it.
Will you be able to take a peek at the movement sometime?
Nothing to dislike about that at all - simply awesome. Enjoy it!
Really nice looking watch, congrats
That's lovely; what size is it?
A fantastic choice and a watch I have come close to chasing down a few times. I suspect the reality is that it would be too big for my girly wrist but clearly you don't have that issue. Enjoy!
I really like that, the complete epitome of a classy dress watch.
I'd love to see the movement.
And what a classic it is. There's a nice white gold one on C24 in Italy for reasonably sensible money. I should stay off here just before Xmas, it's dangerous.
Enjoy the beauty.
Absolutely lovely. No-fuss elegance, just the time and beautiful symmetry - just how a dress watch should be.
So how much was it? :D
It's a 2014 and with a bit of haggling it was around half the new RRP.
It came with the box and without papers but I spoke to the Vacheron Boutique in London and you can order a copy of the "extract from the archives" and a copy of the Geneva Seal certificate. Not sure what they charge for these though.
Because, iirc, of the thinness of the case and the curve of the dial, it has a far-from-wide movement that is also used in some of their Ladies watches, and thus a solid caseback. I think I've got the right one:
20.65mm
Very nice and elegant.
Phwoar
That is all I have to say.
One of the best looking dress watch IMHO
Congrats, enjoy
I just don't understand how anyone could possibly purchase such a sexist item. Patrimony. I mean really!?
Understated elegance, very nice indeed
It's a beautiful watch. Congrats!
I hope, one day, to get the slate grey dial/ platinum version.
Vacheron Constantin - I still miss the ampersand - are the epitome of cool style. When push comes to shove, they're the best.
Beautiful.
There's a smaller model of the Patrimony with diamonds up the side of the case:
Does this mean that it can only be worn by women if a man has bought it for them?
Beautiful watch Matt, well done!
Many congratulations on such a lovey piece. It's a beauty
VC makes the best dress watches and I especially like the 1400 and 4400 movements. Congratulations!
Very elegant dress watch. Way more style than my wardrobe would permit. As for that offset dial cushion case V&C above; it has grown on me. Love it! Both are a credit to the respective owners and V&C.
Gorgeous, there's a quiet sophistication about it. Enjoy wearing!
What a stunning piece! Enjoy it in good health!
Not usually a fan of dress watches, but that's rather nice.
Lovely classic watch, thanks for sharing that. I rather like the one DB9 has too.
When it comes to heritage, you can't argue with a brand that survived the French Revolution and was worn by Napoleon. Congratulations!
