Two Retrogrades, One Quiet Statement in White Gold

The Patrimony collection is Vacheron Constantin's tribute to the restrained dress watches of the 1950s, and the Retrograde Day-Date is its most technically expressive interpretation. Two retrograde hands sweep across the silvered opaline dial, one tracking the day and one the date, each snapping back to its starting point at the end of its cycle. The 42.5mm 18K white gold case measures just 9.7mm thick, an exceptional profile for a self-winding double retrograde. Inside is the in-house Caliber 2460 R31R7/3, bearing the Hallmark of Geneva and visible through the sapphire caseback. White gold is the quietest metal in the line, delivering serious complication and Genevan finishing without announcing either. This 2019 example arrives complete with box and papers, the full provenance that supports long-term value for a reference that rarely surfaces as a complete set.

For the collector who wants a genuine complication from the oldest continuously operating manufacture in watchmaking, without giving up dress-watch restraint, this is the reference. Full set, ready to wear.
