Vacheron Constantin Celebrates 270 Years with Limited-Edition Traditionnelle and Patrimony Models

Vacheron Constantin marks its 270th anniversary with six exclusive timepieces across three iconic collections: the Traditionnelle Manual-Winding, the Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date, and the Patrimony Self-Winding. Each model is available in two distinct versions, crafted from platinum, white gold, or 5N pink gold, and features special anniversary motifs inspired by the Maltese cross.

Every watch in this commemorative collection is equipped with an in-house movement, meticulously decorated with the exclusive 'côte unique' finish and the 270th-anniversary emblem. Certified by the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva, these timepieces uphold the highest standards of Swiss watchmaking, combining heritage craftsmanship with contemporary precision.

The Traditionnelle Manual-Winding features a 38mm case with a sleek 7.77mm profile, available in 950 platinum or 18K 5N pink gold. A transparent sapphire crystal caseback reveals the finely finished Caliber 4400 AS/270, a hand-wound movement offering a 65-hour power reserve and operating at 4 Hz.

The Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date, with a 42.5mm diameter and 9.7mm thickness, houses the self-winding Caliber 2460 R31L/270. This intricate movement includes a retrograde date display and a precision moon phase indicator, composed of 275 components with a 40-hour power reserve. The Patrimony Self-Winding, measuring 40mm in diameter and 8.65mm thick, is powered by the Caliber 2450 Q6/270, offering central seconds, date function, and a 40-hour power reserve.

The dials of all three models feature a silver-toned base adorned with a special Maltese cross-inspired pattern. Applied 18K gold hour markers and hands enhance the refined aesthetic, with the Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date distinguished by a blued retrograde date hand. The Traditionnelle model employs classic Dauphine-style hands for an elegant touch.

Each watch is paired with a Mississippiensis alligator leather strap—grey for the Traditionnelle and dark green for both Patrimony models. These straps feature tone-on-tone stitching and square scales, secured by pin buckles shaped as a polished half Maltese cross, crafted from the same precious metal as the case.

Limited to 370 pieces per reference for the Traditionnelle Manual-Winding and Patrimony Self-Winding, and 270 pieces per reference for the Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date, these anniversary editions exemplify Vacheron Constantin’s enduring excellence. These timepieces offer collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of the brand's remarkable history.
