Vacheron Constantin, the world's oldest watch maison in continuous operation since its founding, is celebrating 270 years of uninterrupted history by launching eight limited editions within the Traditionelle and Patrimony collections during Watches & Wonders 2025. Both collections draw inspiration from Vacheron Constantin's rich heritage, which has been created for almost three centuries.

The new Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date 270th Anniversary has a 42.5 mm case—9.79 mm thick—in 18K white gold or 18K 5N pink gold, references 4010U/000G-H057 and 4010U/000R-H117, respectively. Both watches are available in a limited edition of 270 pieces each.

The Patrimony collection, inspired by the ultra-thin, round timepieces crafted by Vacheron Constantin in the 1950s, has embraced minimalism and subtlety for over two decades. Its understated design codes are expressed through a round case with a slim bezel, a subtly domed dial with slender, curved applied hour markers, curved baton-type hands, and a ‘pearl’ minutes track. The limited editions are united by distinctive stylistic details created especially for the 270th anniversary. The dials feature a subtle geometric motif inspired by the Maltese Cross, Vacheron Constantin’s emblem since 1880.

The 270th anniversary motif distinguishes the silver-toned dial. Set on the upper part of the dial, the retrograde date indication via a central hand—a Vacheron Constantin touch since the 18th century—is balanced by the moon-phase display at six o’clock, set in an aperture from 0 to 29.5. Following the cycle of the Moon, which rotates around the Earth in 29 days, 12 hours and 45 minutes, it requires adjustment only once every 122 years.

The sapphire case backs reveal the ‘côte unique’ finish on the bridges of each calibre made for this anniversary. As a final touch, each movement is engraved with an emblem representing Vacheron Constantin’s 270th anniversary.

The Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date 270th Anniversary is powered by the self-winding manufacture Calibre 2460 R31L/270, which has a 40-hour power reserve.
