For the 20th anniversary of the Patrimony collection, Vacheron Constantin releases a new model with automatic winding made of 18 carat yellow gold 3N, which was the result of cooperation with designer Ora Ito. This watch was created in accordance with the Simplexity concept developed by him – the art of making the complex simple and giving the object an appearance that hides its complexity. The limited edition model of 100 copies is made in a monochrome style: the yellow gold case is complemented by a dial in tone with a finish of many concentric circles that reflect light. This visually simple circular geometry, resembling water ripples, echoes the curved surface of the dial. The model is presented in a version with a burgundy calfskin strap decorated with rectangular shapes with softened corners, which enhance the vintage character of the watch and create a stant contrast with the round geometry of the case and dial. The model is equipped with a manufactured caliber 2450 Q6 with automatic winding. Through the sapphire back cover you can see an openwork rotor made of 22 carat gold, inspired by the Maltese cross – the Vacheron Constantin symbol.
