Available for the first time in a jewellery version entirely set with diamonds, the timeless elegance of the Patrimony collection appears clothed in light. Unveiled at Watches and Wonders Shanghai, the new Patrimony self-winding jewellery watch reference 4116U-000G-B909 reveals a new facet of its personality. Sparkling and dazzling, its slim 37 mm 18K white gold silhouette is adorned with 769 round diamonds. The first jewellery watch in the Patrimony collection is dressed to the nines with its dial entirely paved with diamonds using the snow-setting technique.
Entirely set with diamonds, from its slender white gold case to its snow-set dial, it sparkles with every wrist movement. Luminous and radiant, the Patrimony self-winding pulls out all the stops, while remaining true to its origins. Inspired by the classic watches developed by Vacheron Constantin in the 1950s, it retains the harmonious proportions and pure lines that have characterised the collection since 2004. A timeless creation with a strong sense of showmanship, this jewellery watch's precious finery is sure to catch the eye.
Following in the footsteps of the self-winding Patrimony models unveiled in spring 2023 in a case with redesigned proportions and adorned with a subtly rounded crown, this new creation imbued with uncompromising refinement is distinguished by the finesse of its gem-setting.
Light bounces off every facet of its elegant 37 mm 18K white gold case. The slender case middle and lugs are adorned with 331 round-cut diamonds, as is the bezel forming a halo of light around the dial set with 420 diamonds. In all, the Patrimony self-winding model is set with a total of 769 diamonds —approx. 5.81 carats minimum guaranteed—, including a single rose-cut diamond resting delicately on the sensual curve of the crown, and 17 round-cut diamonds on the 18K white gold pin buckle.
To accentuate the dial’s glowing radiance, 420 round diamonds are set using the demanding snow-setting technique that involves a demanding and meticulous technique which consists of selecting each diamond one by one, all with different diameters, to cover the metal of the dial as much as possible. The slightly domed dial of the Patrimony self-winding presents an additional challenge, requiring the gem-setter to exercise tremendous dexterity and patience to obtain a perfectly even surface and stunning brilliance.
The result is a spectacular sparkle that extends to the case back opening onto the refined finishing of in-house self-winding Calibre 2460 SC/3. The pearlescent blue alligator strap features a convenient interchangeability system further enhancing the charm of this watch and enabling an endless play on styles and colors.
The result, which is unique to each timepiece, causes the precious metal to vanish beneath an exceptional sparkle that varies in step with light effects and wrist movements. A dazzling sight graced with slender white gold hour-markers swept over by dainty leaf-type hands, also in white gold.
Elegant from every angle, the Patrimony self-winding is secured to the wrist with a pearlescent blue alligator leather strap. Its versatile nature means it can be paired with a wide range of styles, outfits and colours thanks to the interchangeable strap.
The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Self-winding Jewellery is powered by the in- house Calibre 2460 SC/3. Endowed with a balance oscillating at a rate of 28,800 vph and a power reserve of around 40 hours, this self-winding movement focuses on essentials with its hours, minutes and seconds hands. The movement’s exceptional finishing can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back, notably including a mainplate circular-grained on both sides featuring hand-chamfered bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève pattern, along with a finely hand-guilloché oscillating weight.
Inspired by the sleek watches of the 1950s, Vacheron Constantin's Patrimony collection has been expanded for the first time to include a jewellery model. This model combines the purity of the collection's design with the audacity of the most unforgettable piece of haute joaillerie ever created by the Maison. Luminous and radiant in all its facets.
