Vacheron Constantin reference 81180/000R-B518, 40.0mm in 18k rose gold with a Blue dial.
The collection
The pared back round line, drawn from the house's slim 1950s dress watches
Patrimony launched in 2004, drawn from the slim Vacheron Constantin dress watches of the 1950s, references 6179 and 6187 among them, which ran the ultra thin 1001 and 1003 calibres. Nearly everything is stripped out: a round case with a thin bezel, a domed dial, slim applied gold markers curved to follow the dome, and a pearl minute track around the edge. The line covers hand wound and self winding models and extends through retrograde day and date and moon phase pieces to perpetual calendars. Cases are gold or platinum.
36 mm to 42.5 mm
Suits a buyer who wants a formal watch with nothing on the dial to date it, and who is buying the proportions and the finishing rather than a complication.
