Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Self-Winding iN 2022

Some good things come in pairs, while others come in pairs of pairs, to please a wide range of potential suitors. That affirmation seems to justly categorize the “Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Self-Winding” that has been released with a redesigned case and crown, while offering two distinct dial options with traditional minded connotations. The round 36.5 mm multi-piece case is available in either white or rose gold with an overall polished finish. Meanwhile mounted to the case we can choose between either a polished bezel or it can be set with 72 round-cut diamonds.On the flip-side is an exhibition caseback that allows a view into the inner workings of the mechanical movement. It comes with a gold oscillating weight in the form of a hollowed out Maltese cross.It comes equipped with a newly designed setting-crown that has been emblazoned with the Maltese cross and features a coin edge that allows for a better grip. All topped by a domed sapphire crystal that assists with water-resistance reaching up to 30 meters (98 feet).Time is exhibited on a domed dial in either blue or pink with gold applied hour index markers, followed by a ring of minute markers that differ based on your bezel option.Each hue option is clearer in the center, but begin to darken as they extend further out towards the edges of the canvas periphery. This subtle shift in tone offers a pleasing effect that emanates a sense of harmony.The central leaf shaped hands are also crafted out of gold to match each case alloy, plus the tips are slightly curved to better embrace the dials fine curvature. This may seem like a subtle design touch, but it significantly impacts this watches overall aesthetics. There is also a date window at the 6 o’clock position.
