Vacheron Constantin launched a feminine edition of the Patrimony Contemporaine watch – a smaller 36 mm model with a hand-wound calibre 1400, bearing the Hallmark of Geneva. The slender 6.7 mm watch profile is accentuated by a rim of brilliant-cut diamonds. The gold case frames an opaline silver-toned dial and the long applied hour-markers punctuating a beaded minute circle in 18-carat gold create a delightful visual rhythmical effect.
