Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Rose Gold Watch 85180 Review | SwissWatchExpo

The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony. An absolutely 
beautiful watch that has been scaled up a bit  
for the modern size. This is over 40 millimeters, 
18-carat yellow gold. But still a very thin case,  
all things considered. I love the shape of the 
lugs. And of course, one of my favorite neatest  
complications to see is a retro grey day and date. 
This takes up a lot of real estate on the dye. You  
got your days down here at 6, your dates pretty 
much across the entire top half of the dial.  
And you can’t quick set the day here and really 
watch the retrograde movement in action, which  
I’ll exhibit with this toothpick right here. This 
is what our watchmakers use here too, but I do  
love watching this thing skip around, especially 
if you can get it to go all the way back to  
Sunday and then skip all the way back to Monday. 
Which I think is just a fantastic complication  
on this thing if I can get it to work. And then 
you’ll see it skip all the way back to Monday.  
And this is an incredible thing. It does the same 
on the day of the month, but it doesn’t quick-set,  
but this is a beautiful watch and a really fun 
party trick for you, especially for people who  
don’t really know these watches. So give 
us a call today at SwissWatchExpo.com.
