Combining precision timekeeping with dashing good looks, the Patrimony Traditionnelle Chronograph from Vacheron Constantin is a magnificent specimen. 18K Rose Gold dominates its build, filling out the lugs, bezel and 42mm case. Within the case there beats a Calibre 1141 manual wind movement at 18,000vph, with 21 jewels and a 48-hour power reserve, and the transparent case back grants insight into its dynamic performance. The handsome dial is two-toned silver backdrop hosting applied rose gold index hour markers and rose gold hands, large central chronograph, small seconds sub-dial and a tachymeter scale lining the perimeter. The watch’s front and back are shielded with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, granting it 30-meter water resistance. A brown crocodile strap with tang buckle completes this outstanding design. Includes manufacturer’s box & papers.
