Why this one
The case for this one.
- Ultra-thin case finished to the Geneva Hallmark standard
- Maltese cross oscillating weight visible through the sapphire caseback
- Pink gold case and silvered dial suit a boardroom and a black-tie evening alike
Patrimony is Vacheron Constantin's answer to the question of how little a dress watch needs to say. The 85180 strips the case down to a slim pink gold profile and a silvered dial with nothing on it but baton markers and a date window, then finishes the movement to the Geneva Hallmark inside. This piece has spent its life on the original alligator strap and shows the kind of light, even wear that comes from careful ownership.
