Featuring a motif of gold concentric rings inspired by the “Baily’s beads” phenomenon, where beads of light appear at the rim of the moon during an eclipse, designer Ora ïto and Vacheron Constantin present a limited edition Patrimony to celebrate the watch’s 20th anniversary. The watch features a 40mm 18K 3N yellow gold case to match the dial and inside is the Vacheron’s own 2450 Q6, a 196-component automatic with a 40-hour power reserve.
The movement features details like circular graining on the mainplate, a Côte de Genève pattern on the bridges, and an openworked gold oscillating weight that features a Maltese cross. The final touch is a burgundy calfskin leather strap with a raised rectangular pattern with softened angles that reference the vintage-inspired characteristics of the watch.
The watch is now available in a 100-piece limited edition.
