About the Patrimony family
Patrimony is Vacheron Constantin's line of plain, very thin dress watches, with round cases, slightly domed dials and baton markers. It covers time-only and date models, a moon phase and retrograde date, and perpetual calendars.
The catalog includes references in pink gold, white gold and platinum with calibers such as the hand-wound 1400, the automatic 2450 Q6 and the ultra-thin 1120 QP perpetual calendar. Dealers identify the size and function from the reference, since many Patrimony models look alike, and check the strap, buckle and papers.
