The Patrimony Perpetual Calendar is the newest addition to the Excellence Platine Collection, essentially powered by the mighty Caliber 1120 QP. The latter is an ultra-thin mechanical self-winding movement entirely developed by Vacheron Constantin. This movement pilots the watches’ intricate technicalities, from the hours and minutes’ hands, the moon phases at 6 o’clock and a perpetual calendar showcasing the day of the week in a counter at 9 o’clock, the date in a counter at 3 o’clock to the month and leap year in 48-month counters at 12 o’clock. The calendar is perceived by experts as one of utmost advancement, skipping any corrections until March 1st 2100. This timepiece also features a 65-hour power reserve, a platinum 42mm-diameter-case with a transparent back, a 3-bar water resistance, a black alligator strap and a platinum buckle.
This watch is limited and numbered to 100 pieces.
