Description
The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar was produced for many years until 2006. Its discontinuance was a shock to the watch market, but a jolt of good news to those collectors fortunate enough to own one. This watch is in 18k gold, with the Vacheron Constantin reference number 30020. Vacheron is one of the great houses of horology and this is one of their great complicated watches.
If you have never had the privilege of hearing a Vacheron Constantin repeater tone, I am sorry for you. This watch has the loudest, liveliest and prettiest tone I have ever heard from a repeater.
The case is solid 18k gold, with the familiar flared or "tear drop" lugs that only Vacheron uses. Crystal is sapphire. Case back has a sunburst pattern engraving. There are four calendar setting buttons on the case sides. Case dimensions are 37mm diameter by 9.5mm thick.
Dial is silver with applied hour markers and sunken subdials. The following calendar information is shown: day, date, month, leap year, moonphase and age of the moon. Each subdial is traced in gold. Golden central baton hands and the subdials have blackened hands for legibility.
Movement is the manual winding Vacheron Constantin Caliber 1755 with 30 jewels and adjusted to five positions and temperature. The construction of this movement and its finishing are extremely beautiful.
Strap is a brown Vacheron crocodile with 18k VC tang buckle.
Watch is as new with box and papers.
