Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date
Vacheron Constantin 2017
Patrimony Phase de Lune et Date Rétrograde square
Expect to see a sparkle in the eye of the most devoted
admirers of classic horology at the sight of this beautifully simple
interpretation of a moon phase together with a retrograde date display. Driven
by a new in-house automatic calibre, the Patrimony's formal elegance again
lends itself to functionality and reliability. The retrograde date indication
in the top part of the dial contributes to enhanced legibility. Underneath it, this
opaline silvered surface opens to reveal a delightful moon phase which is
calculated to mirror the actual orbit of the moon around the earth, in 29 days,
12 hours and 45 minutes. A precision that will require a single adjustment of
one day after 122 years. By which time the classic silhouette of the Patrimony
case in pink gold will not have aged a day.
