As a closing piece for Vacheron Constantin's series of 20th anniversary celebratory releases for the Patrimony's collection, the luxury Maison unveils a limited-edition self-winding timepiece that's been co-created with French Design, Ora ïto.
Reimagined in 18k yellow gold, the reference features the precious material from the case, dial to lugs. Doused in a luscious warm gold, the dial stars an alluring circular pattern, accomplished by a convex external zone with a circular "pearl" minute track. The golden watch face completely matches indices, hands, logo and date window, elevating the piece with a luxurious yet minimalistic flair that's imbued with a vintage charm.
Beating inside the 40mm wristwatch, the 2450 Q6 Manufacture caliber is geared with 40 hours of continuous running time, while beating at a rate of 28,800 hourly vibrations.
Releasing in 100 examples only, the Ora ïto-collaborated Patrimony Self-Winding limited edition is paired with a burgundy calfskin leather strap. Priced at 35,300 CHF (around $41,170 USD), the timepiece is now open for inquiry through Vacheron Constantin.
